bump advice pls and some tips.... to make better

[NYU Alum.]

My advice to you is, to quit sparring and go back to shadowboxing, heavybag work and padwork. If you focus more on those three for a good 4-6 months, I can guarantee you, you'll be much better next time you step inside those ropes.

**Oh, and getting a trainer that actually trains you the right way would help too(not just a fighter who used to be a good fighter, you don't need a former bad@ss, you need a good teacher!)**

No one is ever 100% ready for sparring, but, you're clearly not ready for sparring, and where you're at right now, continuing to spar and not work on proper punching mechanics and the proper way of defending, you'll just be stuck at that level.

Here's an analogy, if a teacher started teaching you calculus with hardly any training in basic arithmetic, how hard do you think it will be to pick up calculus ?

Basing on what you've told me, I think you need to find another trainer.

Repetition is key in boxing. But, d*mn, 7 months of the same ole routine, can be downright boring, and simply take the fun out of it.

Changing routines should not be for the sole purpose of making it fun, but, it has to stick within the framework.


The thing is, it's the trainer's responsibility to gauge your boxing aptitude. Why is the student not showing any progress(Is the student just lazy, is it the trainer's training method(s))

More than likely, it is the trainer!!

This is total BS. You can improve your moves and still get in some sparring to practice and apply what you are learning as you go along. You sparring won't impede your learning process it will just improve it. What better way to fix your flaws than learn new things and apply in a combat situation. My advice to you is this, and also not to take any advice from this LATINONOB guy.

Bro, you're right, if you're talkin' about a guy who is atleast intermediate level. But the guy on the vid is clearly not!! He needs to go back to the drawing board, sharpen things up, and then step in the f**kin' ring!!

Give him between 6-9 months of a heavy dose of legit training, and he'll look way different next time he steps in-between those ropes!!

My general rule is, I don't let novices step in the ring period!! Once a fighter is able to show me that he can be fluid with his combinations, his eyes start to sharpen with the pad-work, then it's time for sparring!!

To Urbano fan,

Here's a great thread I found, the thread starter did a great job of piecing it together step-by-step //krikya360.com/forums/sh...to_threadtools

i dont know about the whole dont take any advice from this latin guy thing but the rest of its pretty sound. sparring can allways be helpful weather your just starting or 10 years into it. if your training to fight people why not train by fighting people if you have 2 people that both realize that by sparring with the other person they are improving their skills then their should be no problem, problems only occur when you have a di*khead trainer throwing some newb in with some guy thats only looking to beat people up...and id imagine that would be the fault of the trainer. I see no reason to wait 6 months or more before your willing to let some one spar i mean unless of course your one of those dirty a holes that dont train any one in any thing other then how to do sit ups push ups and jump rope and are only in this to make money you greedy piece's of ****
