Granville G. Boxing 1. In every gym that you approach, just know that there are always trainers watching you. Even when you think that nobody is watching you hit the bags, or that nobody sees you shadowboxing in the ring, just know that someone is always noticing you. I only had to show that I loved boxing and some awesome trainers found me right away.
A good trainer inspires you to be like him. A great trainer inspires you to be yourself. We have been practicing the basic punch system. So far I am enjoying what we are doing. I love reading your articles because it prepares me for what to look forward to as I learn more. Thank you for a great learning tool, keep em coming! When is your first fight?
More power to you starting your career 47ish at an age when most boxers have already been retired for years. Hiya just wanted to add this is an awesome article. I have met with a few trainers who either have no experiences or think the old way is the best way!.
I am still in pursuit of finding a new trainer which seems more hard work then the training itself. I definitely feel for you, Sonia. Sometimes trying to figure out the right direction is the hardest part and not having the right trainer can make the journey all the more challenging.
I do hope you find someone you like. Good luck. Who does that leave? Time to find a new trainer! I really needed to read this article. Thank you. My trainer is the former fighter that drills punches over and over and over and over and over trying to perfect what i believe i already have down pat.
Sometimes the advice he give is down right hypocritical to what he previously told me to be doing! AND he is extremely verbally and physically abusive. Its VERY frustrating. He never goes over defense or boxing tactics with me EVER in my years of training under him. Everytime i get tagged he pokes fun at me and belittles me. I am beginning to hate him so much! Sometimes i believe my sparring partners he lines up for me is pretty dangerous.
This article helped me to think about more options in trainers. I LOVE the sport but i always find myself hating it again after training. Never came across an article like this before and I really appreciate you writing it. Extremely knowledgeable in punch technique so i thought he was the best guy. As well as never taking a penny from me. Tony, I feel for you man. I think you should have no problems finding a trainer who will look out for you and help you improve without belittling you.
Any trainer that makes you hate boxing or fearful of boxing should not be training! I train boxing from a Muay Thai fighters and part time trainers. For example, I tend to keep my jabbing hand a bit low because my stance is in a 45 degree open, and I like to open my view while fighting.
In Muay Thai, you tend to keep your hands high to check straight rights, elbows and high kicks. So i heed his request and put my hands up and have trouble with natural movement and catching a punch. When I keep my hands down, I tend to philly shell with my shoulder and have a better view. Even thought i get tagged, I guess I set up the fighter to come in and counter him.
This could be completely wrong but its my natural style. I would really appreciate if you can write an article regarding different stances and styles or create videos for better understanding. Having said that, I live in Melbourne, Australia. There are seriously not many proper boxing schools here. Ah well…. TJ Ramadoss — sorry for the delayed reply. I just realized I let one slip through. I greatly appreciate your complex question and the time you spent writing it!
About the hands down stance…. The stance article will come soon enough but will take me some time to write. Trainers psych! Do you know any web site that talks about the different approach of trainers. Weather they want to see you work hard or they want you to challenge them.
Any ideas where I could find anything like that? Mike G. So keep on learning and keep an eye out on what other trainers are doing. You may be surprised at how excited they might be to talk boxing with you.
Advice please…. Im in training right now for a few years off and on with my coach. I havent sparred or fought yet which I understand. He took me into his home and invested his time into me and that meant alot to me. I have the look i have the know how, experience not yet, but I dont have any money in times like this. What do I do? Does anyone have any advice for me? My coach is like a father figure to me. But i cant afford to keep paying if I accidently mess up or theres miscommunication.
I need advice from people in the biz. Zooworks gmail. Personally, I think you need to move on. But loyalty towards a coach is something I understand and respect greatly. I do feel you need to be honest with the coach and say you are going to look around… I personally believe that coach is going to insult you and what not, but do not pay any heed… that is the sign of a bad coach.
As the article states, just because they have fought does not make them a good coach. Flat out truth, you need to leave that coach… paying somewhere is is not wrong, you need a coach. This is a really sad story. If anything, the most successful boxers come from poorest neighborhoods. It takes hunger poverty to motivate boxers to work hard.
There are many gyms out there that will train you for free if you have the desire to learn. Anybody looking to make money by becoming a boxing trainer is full of it. You have to do it for the love of the sport. Is he right or am I just too sadistic on myself?
Then again, different trainers have different styles. Some will force as many things down your throat and hope that you absorb much of it. Others will wait for you to ask questions showing initiative before they feel you truly want to learn more. Cutting my fingers I wear MMA issue 6oz gloves and they feel good to hit with on a heavy bag but either the bag or the gloves are rubbing away the skin on my knuckles.
How do I prevent this? Maybe you can hit the bags with some 10 or 12oz boxing gloves? Those are still pretty light and offer you full protection on the hands. Or you can also use the skinny bag gloves, so your hands are still light but have full protection.
I am new to boxing but not to fighting, how can i turn my passion outside the ring for fighting to inside the ring. I want to be build a career and know where and how i can get the right care for it. I dont want to be led into the dark side of boxing. If you can give me an upside to what im on about mate. Go in there and start asking questions. Give it a try and see if you really like it.
Is it common for trainers to train their fighters for free? A long term goal of mine is to begin amateur boxing. From my little experience here in Australia however, individual training can be quite pricey. Tysons story is almost fairy tale; taken in off the streets and adopted by his trainer. I would imagine this kind of scenario is rare. A friend of mine has been training me and actually introduced me to boxing.
However she has been boxing for about two years, never fought and has no intentions to. Perhaps, they no longer have something to prove every time they walk in the gym so they can focus on what really matters - their students. Maybe over the years, the things they have seen and the experiences they have lived through matter more than their current physical state?
I don't know, but what you have to figure out is if they can teach. To do that, watch them in action. Go to their boxing gym or wherever they are training boxers and watch how they work. You will quickly determine if it is someone you can work with or not. If you cannot watch them, then find out who they are training and ask them about their teaching style. Remember, this boxing trainer is going to be someone who is responsible for how well you do in the ring.
You want the best you can get. Surround yourself with talented help and you will be talented. The reverse is also true. Being in the military, I have had the opportunity to move around a lot and everytime I do I have to find another boxing gym and another boxing trainer. You will quickly find that not every boxing trainer trains the same way and they all will insist their way is better than someone else's. Look through that.
All you really need to know is if that particular boxing trainer can teach you something new, something you do not already know or are they capable of pushing your conditioning to a higher level.
If the answer is no, then leave. There is no reason you have to choose or stick to a particular trainer. You are not married. It is a business transaction. Admittedly, over time a certain loyalty builds up which goes both ways, but remember that you have to train to win. If that isn't happening, maybe it's time for a change.
