- No matter who you are if you spend any length of time in the sport of boxing it is inevitable you will have a bad sparring session this is something that happens to everyone here's my take on how to handle it!!
He said "you gonna play with rubber swords your whole life... PAUSE!" Lmao
💀💀💀
Ts had me 💀
I got punched hard today in front of everyone I had a bad day I felt like crying but it’s boxing your gonna get hit no matter how good you are but you lose you improve it’s doesn’t matter if you lose all that matters is you get knock down you keep moving forward I’m gonna watch this video everyday before I go to the gym thank you for the talk
Don’t worry my brother you whenever you have a person that’s ever attempted Competition or Heavy Sparring! Overtime you will get inoculated to the punches and be able to keep your mind clear under pressure🥊📈💪🏼

Just got Lit up in sparring. Im 37 and just starting, but I ain't giving up. Thanks coach.
How's it going now buddy?.
How is it going
Hope one day you can come back and let us know how its goin🤝
Please tell us how it’s going
Evidently he got killed in his last sparring session...RIP dm9392...you shined bright like a diamond
First sparring session I got beat up for 3 rounds granted dude took it easy on me but he's a naturally strong dude that competes in local MMA & boxing events here after about sparring the same person 5 times, I started getting the better of him and started landing cleanly. Biggest thing that shook me in my first spar was seeing how calm he was and that was intimidating AF. On the bright side seeing him so calm helped me develop that same calmness in spars & gym work
Many years ago: a friend who had fought in the streets of New York, then in golden gloves, asked me if I'd like to box. I said 'yes' because we were friends. We warmed up and put on gloves, and he told me to keep my hands up. Then he hit me in the head. I was shocked, but he just said 'Whatsa matta? Keep ya hands up!' and right then and there I got a new religion: keep my hands up.
💯💯💯🙏🏼
Facts
I had my ass lit up in a sparring session yesterday. Sucks, but you just gotta keep going and trust the process.
That’s the mentality!!
#nodaysoff🥊📈💪🏼
Sparred for the first time this week. My mind really went blank. Got rocked a bit, overall really enjoyed the humbling experience.
Yeah me too my first spar I was stiff and I didn’t land any shots my mind went blank I got hit but not rocked
@@AbdulRahim-mr4kg Same but I was punching bag bruh
i just had my first sparring session tonight. got hit a lot and had a head ache afterwards. gotta work on my defense
@@mijonate6484 if your sparring with a guy whos giving u headaches after a session u need to tell them to turn it down to the head... head injuries are not to be played with so make sure ur looking after urself
@@beatek3912headache after sparring possibly concussion.If insists after one day go to the doctor.
Just got my ass handed to me in a spar today, then I see this video lol. It’s just so frustrating getting whacked on😂😂
Facts, got my nose and lip bust fighting an experienced guy( I haven’t even had a proper fight yet) but I was so annoyed but now I’m just trying to learn and look at the positives
Facts bro it sucks
all part of the journey
@@robbiecoutts9776 ah man same happened to me today im so mad my nose is fucked
Fr bro i just started sparring i been training for 5 months and im fighting some experienced boxers already lmao
My last sparring session I got hard counter right and a liver shot. My coach laughed cause he didn't mean to hit me hard to the body but I said we should continue. Gotta keep going and progress! I gotta tighten up my defence 100%
Just don't play too hard with your liver, it's really easy to damage and hard to heal, no shame in resting for a bit before you start shaking that thing around again lol
Awesome vid man. Had a sparring session this morning and it really humbled me. Fought someone way better than me who had a championship under his belt and I left feeling really down and out as well as a gushing nose. This video reminded why why I do this, to improve and get better, and not come out on top everytime.
Just remember my brother there's no such thing as a loss only a lesson. Those are the moments that separate you from the rest of the people that think they are built for this.
@@coachv3436 Amen
can totally relate
Very true as a fighter/coach I see it everyday. Boxing is no joke and lots can't handle it. Only a handful if people can actually dig deep and except the inevitable and keep moving forwards. Great video well explained. Thankyou buddy
It's crazy how ppl give it up after a few punches. I dislike when I get rocked in sparring, but I also enjoy it because I can still get better. Never being challenged would be boring.
I’m not gonna lie but to me getting punch in the face doesn’t even hurt it’s just a shock to my body
Yea that's how I would describe it..its a jolt to the body
Had a few bad sparring sessions with the same guy. Was sparring him everyday for two weeks straight. I lost my confidence a little, my reflexes are not good. But I went back Saturday and gained my confidence back sparring another guy. Did pretty good. I can take a punch that's not the issue. The issue is I'm taking to many.
Lmao I feel u I can take a punch that’s what everyone was saying “ you did for your first time that guy hit hard you can take a punch” in my head I was like fk u I took to many
Be aware of CTE
Something comforting is that EVERY great champion has been whooped in sparring at least once. It’s all about taking it as a learning experience. It’s also why I don’t like people posting sparring clips, it’s extremely unprofessional
I totally agree 💯💯💪🏽
@@coachv3436 after rewatching it, I also agree with you that every boxer that goes far enough has the “what the hell am I doing here” moment. While that day might suck, the best thing to do is to show up the next day like nothing ever happened, as many people give up after that moment.
I'm 26 and I got rocked by a teenager. Hit me with two hooks I just didn't know how to defend. Coach stopped the session. Felt real embarrassed.
Happened to me just now, it sucks man...
same happened to me 3 hours ago it really really sucks man im 21 yrs old got big right hand from a 16 year old and that made my legs wobble a little bit then i tried to throw but my woobly legs made me slip and that embarrased me so much 😭
Guy talks shit about a dude crying after sparring. Never thinks about maybe he used to get bashed by family members or people at school and he had a lot of trauma connected to it but he learns boxing to protect himself later. Mike TYSON used to cry before fights, there could be any reason why je does cry to get out those feelings of actual danger that he may have experienced as a younger kid. You're not very aware of people dude
This!
lesson for beginners. if you train a rough gym. NEVER EVER complain, or try to get out of the fight. complaining about getting hit too hard, will make your opponent want to fvck you up. like bleeding next to a shark. if you get rocked and get back up with a bloody smile and say “that was clean” you will most likely be respected. just never complain. everyone hates that guy.
nah train wherever u want, if u want to complain bc they’re going too rough go to a different gym. there’s nothing wrong with knowing what you want to get out of the sport
very bad advice, you dont learn well when you only spar hard
this is absolute shit advice. If you train at a gym where people can't communicate with eachother which level of intensity they are comfortable with, leave that gym.
@@WillemNout1 if you cant handle, and you have other options i think leaving is a great thing to do. but if your stuck with a gym where people push you beyond comfort. just dont complain. thats all i was trying to say. complaining in an aggressive environment is not a good move. complaining is a man in general is weak. Keep those female thoughts to yourself.
@@Iced_amerikano Taking unnecessary damage to your head and pushing eachother to a higher level of boxing are 2 completely seperate things. But you do you, enjoy the CTE.
Hmm agree with all the points but low-key I think the guy being brave enough to cry in front of lions shows that he is strong enough to trust that he can look vulnerable in front of others and it *wont* phase him in the long run. I see it more as like “ye I cried and what? Do summn bout it”
Yeah. Exactly. Surpressing emotions and pretending that "nothing happened" only leads to more issues down the road. Cry as long as you need and then do what you can to recover and come back stronger.
I just got my ass beaten up 4 hours ago and physical pain wasn't the problem
I felt like nothing
I couldn't do shit
And they just kept punching me with speed and different combos
The real pain is they were 4 - 5 years younger than me too, rn i'm mentally fucked up
Now i understand what does this sentence really means "everybody got a plan until they get punched in the face"
My coach stopped the session after a minute and told me to take my gloves off, I wanted to fucking die right there and then. I'd rather have had the shit kicked out of me.
That's cause you have the spirit to compete truthfully it would have been better if you would have just changed to conditional sparring and let you continue !
You can’t go swimming and not get wet
Agree but you don't have to drown.Take it easy if you don't want a Career in Amateur boxing or something.Hard sparring doesn't help if your muscle memory isn't trained a lot
@@user-sc3rh3ig8cim 14 my coach always makes me hard spar. I forget things easier now. My friends and family noticed it too. i forget things and get confused a lot now.
I had my first sparring session today and I got fucked up I just froze I was taking punches and wasn’t giving them back I felt bad but I had to remind my self that if I stick to this and keep practicing ima get better and that’s what I’m using as motivation
We all go through it ! Keep it going my friend.
Same dude i’m frustrated
Keep it up, definitely gets easier, you guys will notice massive improvements in your first year of sparring, enjoy every minute of it. Once it gets easy to spar that's when the opponents get really hard lol
Great post again Coach,
You’re right about other sports, if you’re not ready and willing to hit and get hit……find another game to play.
10 years of rugby here.
Peace
The other day I was sparring and I couldn’t breath bc of my big a$$ mouth guard and vomited In the ring so embarrassing bro I went home I was mad af but went and bought a new mouth guard that can fit me right
WHAT
dammmn
Lmao😂😂😂😂
damn that’s rough puking in the ring lol
Bro this helped I had sparring sessions today normally I’m the one to come out aggressive and trade punches but today was so bad I felt weak I was just taking punches and not coming back but I feel that is was just bad day
Today i was hit in the nose with a kick, thats how i reached this video :( i felt so bad and fragile, all my confidence was gone, but now im remembering everything that happened before that moment... I need to work harder
Just had my first sparring session today (kickboxing). Got the shit beaten out of me. Once I got hit in the face I just kept freezing up and shelling. But even after shelling they would just proceed to combo me. I’m not a tough guy. But I want to get better at fighting. Guess I have a long way to go.
No homo but I like this coach real talk
It aint gay to say that my dude 😂😂
@@Lacuadraboxeo. ok thank you
Great video ! Thank you! This is making me think! I had my first ever boxing session 3 weeks ago with a classmate of mine (im 36, but hes 21, and almost a PRO, and hes been doing it since he was 5 years old). He is a little bit smaller than me, weighing about 155 lbs or so, at 6'1" or 6'2", while im 5'10" but 194 all muscle. but hands down he would obviously win. but it was good because of that inoculation process like you said, with him being smaller, but going easy on me. it was fun.
The fact that you can see the benefit of the weight difference factoring in the best level of experience he had still being beneficial is everything you needed to get out of that session!!
#nodaysoff🥊📈💪🏼
I literally lose every spar. Been training for years and lose to dudes that just step into the gym
I've been boxing for two weeks and yesterday had my third spar against a guy way more experienced then me and I got beat up and cried but I didnt cry bc of the punches i cried bc i thought i sucked and didnt understand why i couldnt dodge any of his punches, thought i had no potential but i wanna keep going and im gonna keep going no more negativity
went into the gym for the first time in years yesterday! was really hard but i enjoyed a lot. I dont think i would of done it if I didnt watch your videos so thank you
This guy right here lives breathes boxing I’ll support you every way newbreed
When i get fucked up i come back even stronger.
Shout out from Scotland in the UK , Coach V is certified when it comes too boxing has good knowledge on the sport and speaks perfect sense🏭
Thanks brother 💯💯💪🏽
What's your opinion on light sparring? From the majority of coaches on youtube, I'm getting that light sparring is the way to go and hard sparring should be restricted only to a couple months before a fight/ maybe some times x2-3 months
After a hard punch on like the jaw, you should give your brain like at least 30 days rest they say. No high intensity training. And that sounds really reasonable to me
Got my soul broken today in training after 5 months, trying to bounce back and go back into it tomorrow, its hard for sure
I wasn’t moving my feet, every time I tried to engage I ate a jab, then I thought I’d go on the back foot and try counter but then I got smashed on the ropes, in the middle of it I just wanted to start crying, bearing in mind I haven’t shed a tear since 2016😂
I started out good was landing good shots then I just kinda forgot wtf I was even doing
makes two of us, been boxing a year or so and last night was starting out well then got rocked and completely forgot my footwork, sparring finished and i felt like a complete idiot cause the guy was new... wtf was i doing hahaha i mean i got a few good shots in too but god damn lol
Today i had a bad day in sparring, i get hit for a guy who doesnt train the same years than me
same bro but from a teenager it really really sucks mentally
Been sparring in the gym for a few months. The other day I sparred at a friends house, with a guy I’ve gone with before. He’s untrained but sparred a lot, usually he’s straight buns and I’m landing shots left and right, moving my head, coming at angles he never expected or can see. But the other day dude got 8 hours of sleep or woke up right or something. Because he messed me up. Truly a humbling experience and sucky one. But a nessecary one.
Got hit in the nose twice then the mouth stared bleeding still smiling
Got pieced up in sparring today, started shit talking myself etc but realised it's part of the game. I'll learn from it and move I know where I went wrong. Got 4 weeks til my fight I know I can do this.
I been letting my lil Bro hit me so i get you to it and Yeah he dont take it easy i cant feel my head after 😅
Needed this vid just getting back into sparring after 6 months and I just seem off
6 months?!
@@anarchy0m824 covid
People who join boxing not for cardio but to box and refuse to spar can’t have my respect. I’m sorry cuz my gym has a 12 wrist band system to show who’s more experienced. Once you learned the basics in boxing you hit the first band. First band allows you to spar. Yet mfs got 4 bands flexing how good they are and they never stepped in the ring before and I’m wrist band 1. It just makes me mad they talkin down on me when they too scared to even come and spar me and others. It’s definitely an ego thing, it creates egos for goofys who ain’t got the fight mentality just like them little taekwondo and karate kids with their belts. Yet they get to call themselves good “boxers”
I got my ass kicked today. My sparring partner worked me like I owed him money. Face is all fucked up and idk how to feel about that
Take it as motivation, hopefully it was not a mismatch on behalf of your coach. You should not be getting beat up badly sparring when you’re first starting out.
Idk why people make it abt ego or feeling like a man when I get my ass whooped I think abt all the time I trained and I get my ass whooped like that shi makes me mad
Had my first sparring session and I was like a punching bag. Only landed 2 shots that rocked him but I got nervous and blank.
I didn't wanna keep messing my self up and possibly break a rib or something but I don't wanna quit man but i still wanna do this..
Don't quit man follow your dreams and you'll get there.
i like my brain cells
I've been doing boxing on and off for 3 years, not consistent at all due to outside reasons, and got lit up recently by a teen. He was one or two weight classes bigger than me and he constantly comes to the gym. I can't seem to find someone my size, but oh well.
I just got home from sparring, and, guys.... I got destroyed 🤣 my left eye blown out, my liver hit twice, and a TKO all in 1 hour of sparring, I backed off, I let my guard down a few times, how can I say I really want to smash my own face in, 3 years of practice and I'm still making these stupid mistakes... I didn't give up, I told myself that if I was going to get blown up I'd get blown up like a man, but the doubt is there
Thank you for this video this made my day much better. It really put today’s session into perspective. It really crushed my fragile ego as I always thought I “won” my sparring sessions. And I lost bad today with the other guy also posting it on social media.
But like you said this is all a part of the sport. The second phase of sparring. 🙏🏻 thank you I will overcome and get better!
Me and my friends used to box with lacrosse gloves when we was little I thought I was hot shit till I got hit clean and saw the light🤣 still kept boxing but definitely didn't underestimate people like I did before.
I had my first sparring session today and I had to tap out on the second round because I was getting beat up and I was out of gas. So pissed at myself rn🤦♂️
Yo I’m back bro watching again lol on a different acc but I had a shit spar yesterday and I just stumbled on this vid so thx👍
This guy from another gym, gym wars. He said he has only been “normal training boxing” for 5 months but he fought me like he’s been boxing for a year and a half. I only will believe him if it’s been 1 on 1 training but he said hiself that it’s just normal training. Also how do I get my nose to stop bleeding?? He basically “won” cause I was drenched in blood yet again, coach thought he had to stop it cause he thought I needed too. This was last week, it’s been on my mind for a while now.
You the “pause” with a quickness
What about concussion after getting hit hard in the head multiple times.
How long should the concussion go ?
Got beat up a bit in 6 rounds of sparring, seems like i'm getting a black eye, not the best feeling, but i've landed some punches too, which makes it better
thanks for this advice...needed to hear this. im one of those sensitive soul lol minus the crying. how would you deal with a sparring partner that you feel has 'bad intentions'? when we did counter-punching practice, i could feel he was starting throwing with bad intentions. i was landing lots of jabs clean (but very light) and he went for a hard counter right, which i did not see coming. that made me angry, so i went after him a bit, he went after me, and i could feel it was going to get bad. i told him to take it easy and we calmed down. i know this is boxing, but what should i have done as a beginner? hit him hard back? stop sparring? tell the coach (not preferable as i dont wanna be a bitch)?
When you get in the ring for real your opponent will be trying to knock you out. Getting used to this a little bit in sparring isn’t a bad thing. Don’t worry about your partner’s sparring etiquette, people will see that you’re sparring in a respectful and controlled manner and he looks like a fool.
I got hit hard today ,I fell on the ground bloody nose and got hit on the rips and liver hard,my nose is swollen and purple ,yes we have to overcome this part .iam 40 years old and just started boxing .
Today I got hit like near the back of the head, it wasn’t like a hard shit or anything and like my right side just hurts a bit but like it’s not a big deal and it’s the first time I get hit like that, the only thing is that besides that, that sparring was terrible for me, I felt like a look bad, I think to much about the punch but the real pain and the real shit is inside, I felt that as a humillation
Just got my ass beat. Head hurting and getting punched in the liver full power for the first time in my life. Worst day in a long time. But crying about it doesnt help. Lets put in the work once again 🥊🥊
I do kick boxing and mma get my ass kicked in a lot of striking sessions 😂
In my sparring session last month my nose broke then after that the next day my eyes got all watery and then on the same day the wind just sucked out of my body due to a body shot but I ain't never gonna quit.
Coming back stronger as what separates the men from the boys I hate to sound cliché but pain does make the brain smarter and it’s just a rough learning curve but once you get past the beginner stage it becomes more addictive!! Best of luck!!
#nodaysoff🥊📈💪🏼
@@coachv3436 thank you sir your videos help me alot.
got fucked up in sparring today, got a really nasty punch to the ribs, im kind of down right now
Don't worry my man myself included and everyone else W has ever stepped into the ring long enough has experienced the pain and suffering that comes with the learning process use it as fuel to propel you forward as an improved fighter from the experience!!
#nodaysoff🥊📈💪🏼
I had a bad spar before and i just didnt want to go all in and we agreed to go in light but he went in had after that session i just stopped going lite with the more experienced people and i havnt had a bad spar since
I Ben punched in the face it’s not that bad bro I’d rather b a king then b a chicken
The master has lost more than the beginner has tried sum like that
I'm sparring for my first time tomorrow. It'll only be jabs. A bit nervous, but advice like this helps calm my nerves. Good advice. Thank you Coach!
How’d it go
@@Ismellbacon Great surprisingly, I try to incorporate all the things that coach V and precision boxing have mentioned in there videos and listening to the coach. I sparred three times so far and its been lots of fun! I do think I almost got KOed lol I got hit in my chin and it surprised me and they ended the spar. So keep that chin down and hands up. Sparring again today. I think whats hard is when you get exhausted in the ring and having to wait to spar when you know youre going to spar.
Hey I'm new and just boxint since a few moths. Today I got knocked down by a guy 35 kg heavier than me would you say it's my fault or should I stop sparring with him ? He also punched a 58 pretty hard in sparring so he got a blue swollen eye. I know it's a combat sport just want your opinion if I should man up or just avoid some idiots
My thing rn I feel Is I gotta get that conditioning but tbh I'm so nice man I need to face my fears and push thru like u said circumventing obsticles
Funny how I’m now finding ya channel bro im boutta go to a gym in may and I’ve been training for a year and some months now fuck wit this channel heavy underated videos keep up the good work g 💫
Much appreciated brother 💯💯💪🏽
I was a new guy trying to get started I work a 9-5 got kids and all that man not saying it's an excuse but I didn't put the work in like the other guys and I went and had my first sparring session in so many years I screwed up closed my eyes when I threw punches and got gassed quick scared to get punched n stuff but I didn't wanna quit I haven't been back since that cause dude hurt my ribs bad. But I think about it daily man plus my personal vices get the best of me but coach I don't wanna quit . Man shit ima cry to..
My god thank god this video exist because I really had a very not "motivated" sparring today... (thx coach)
Take the good with the bad the more you train the better you’re gonna get regardless brother💯💯
@@coachv3436 Thank you very much. Aiming too high makes me sometimes doubt my dedication to the sport, so your speech really made me understand that all the hardship is part of the climb... Be well.
Got into boxing as a way to get into shape and all my life I’ve been know as the soft crybaby, I wanted to put myself through the trials and tribulations that a man should go through to toughen up plus I love boxing watching it and training for it, not ashamed to say couple of spars I’ve sniffles after a lil bit and eyes watered but no flat out crying some people deal with it differently I want to grow more as a person and I hope to do so with this spoet
Mind you dude I was sparring was a south paw going into his professional career they said we’d be going easy but sum about this guy doesn’t feel right obv it’s a combat sport but everyone says he has other intentions while sparring
You’re doing the right thing brother Boxing will teach you things about yourself you would never know until you are forced to adapt!
#nodaysoff🥊📈💪🏼
I agree coach V. Just went through my first smoker fight and got stopped in the first round the opponent rocked me with a cross. It was a long drive home but I'm telling myself I gotta dig in to get better or else wtf am I doing here
I didn't mind if I knew I got work with national champs and those cats are dangerous. My 3rd open match (13th) I fought Justin Hurd in Baltimore Jared Hurds brother from Hillcrest. This cat didn't throw one punch the whole first round, came out for the second he was touching me up every time I threw something. Two standing 8 counts he ain't just beat me that shit was embarrassing haha but his brother on TV and had way more experience so I wasn't mad. That shit was embarrassing lol
Thanks so much Coach V, you continue to raise your vids to a higher level with more insight and raw truth than any other True Coach on The Social Media Platform! Everything you touched on is Spot On Accurate and 100% what I have and am still going through, not only in my boxing journey but life itself. I salute you brother for being completely unselfish in the way you share Truth Without a Fee attached to it. Listen Up people, it would be a definite benefit to you to pay attention and apply what this man is sharing. Thanks again Coach for another Awesome, Insightful, and Beneficial instruction.
Thabk you brother 🙌🏼🙌🏼💪🏽
My first sparring session I got thrown in with a rough dude. Two head kicks and got kicked in the guts about 10-15 times. I got beat up but I couldn’t stop myself from pushing forward and taking more damage just upset me more. I felt like a loser after that but everyone else thought it made me tough. Idk it’s not the way I saw it. It feels helpless
I've been sparring every day for 3 weeks. Last night was "that next level getting hit in the face" just good left hooked hard trying to dodge. Leaned right into it. Sounded like a gunshot. Gym went quiet, I finished the round just fine. But god dam it was hard, and actually happy that I'm finally getting hit, lol.
Today was my first sparring day, put on the gloves and got in the ring,
Was hit hard with a right hook i guess i have a concussion, head hurts a little and sharp pains, what should i do ?
@@antisepticafq Take some headache medicine and see if it goes away. If it doesn't you need to see a Dr. Since this post I've had a broken rib and a dislocated jaw, lol.
Took me awhile, and seeing new guys get hit the same as me to realize you have to muster the bravery to question your coach about it. To tell you the truth, after I confronted my coach about it, we haven't sparred anyone from our own team since. We only spar other gyms now.
This is good because now, we know we have to fight to hurt to hurt someone. When it's your own team you have trust, and trust will get you seriously hurt.
Lastly wear it like a badge of honor. 99% of people have never even been hit in the face, and you WILL get better and sharper. Don't quit.
Make sure you take that medicine and go see a Dr need be. You should probably just make friends with the Dr. I've made good friends with my Dr and dentist in the past year.
@@antisepticafq hey did u get better? I took lots of blows to the head 5 days ago in sparring and my brain still hurts today!! Im worried af. :(
@@Xukaii Yes, the pain goes away
But if its too much like continuous throbbing/stabbing pain then you need to go to a Doctor
@@Xukaii I boxed for 9 years after some time you feel like you lost a pice of the brain it’s something a lot of people don’t talk about in boxing
Both my eyes are swelled up, am super frustrated and humiliated but ready to spar again and whoop some ass. Thanks coach
I just got rocked today almost put to sleep but I bounced back legs buckled and sight went black for a split second but im an amateur and dude was a pro and we went hard at first I was upset but I realized I didn't go to sleep and that's guys in the gym woulda took the week off so I'm actually happy with how I handle it
5 and half months of training just started sparring this week and i sparred 2 people with 2 years of experience they know what they doing whole time i barely can throw my 1-2 during sparring and i cant get good distance or in a good exchanging positions since im shorter
I always had a bad sparring experience for past 5 years. How to change result. My ass kicked every time. As I really want some good experience. All due to I cant aim punches and can't keep up the pace. How to fix cant keep the pace . Happening too fast cant keep up with the fight taking too long to block or aim
Is headache normal after first sparring session ?
Was hit hard with a right hook by a state champion
Sounds like they may have went a little too hard for a first session but yes unfortunately headaches can be a byproduct of sparring
I’m 27 years old and have been wanting to get in the gym to train and eventually get a couple amateur fights in but I know just like I can throw a punch the other man can as well so there’s always the risk of getting knocked out lol. Still wanna try though
Lol i sparred for first time in 3yrs since covid shut everything down,i was ok first 4rounds n then they put in some golden glove winners and i was so drained n got pieced up! Never once did i take a step back n was still catching them n said wait till i can run marathons again. Fuck a bad session.
Really glad to see I’m not the only one feeling like this…really fucked me up mentally. Like what do I got now that this other man got the best of me?
One of my sparring sessions went bad as I wasn’t throwing back throughout the whole 6 rounds and just getting pinged I did lose some confidence in myself and what disappointed me was that I just didn’t do anything at all besides from throwing weak jabs so that’s something that’s just been messing with me
Nice video coach. I got a question. I got clipped in sparring today and now I have jaw pain, the problem is that I'm going to fight in two weeks. Should I do any sparring till then?
Typically we stop Sparring about a week before the fight to preserve yourself but if you are having pain still from the shot you talk I would train everything else but Sparring may be just body shots and jabs to stay sharp
Okay thanks for the tips, I appreciate it!🙏🏽
I have cried at the end of sparring a couple times
Same bro
needed this.
sparred today. didn’t go well AT ALL lol.
i need to get over my fear of getting hit. i was literally a punching bag bc i didn’t wanna just walk into a counter.
granted, the guy was way better than me, but there are no excuses & i learned a lot from it which i am grateful for believe it or not. i even asked the guy what i could improve on & he was very respectful & helpful afterwards. it takes a massive hit to your ego when you look your opponent after he just beat you & ask him for advice, but that shit shows determination if i’ve ever seen it.
teared up a bit ngl, but immediately got my shit together like i was finna talk to the fbi😂
it’s apart of the game. we are all here to get better.
peace to all, stay fighting ! 👊🏽❤️
wow, that line about character in the ring is so true! Boxing is almost always in the mind.
Anybody else here bc they were so ready for sparring today but then ended up having a shitty session like 20 mins ago? Yea same 🤦🏽♂️
Yeah 😔
Very good video coach cuz its true especially the outside of the ring part.
💯💯💪🏽
Hey coach, this is the thing. Im kind of new in boxing and I started a cojple of months ago. But im very athletic and i think i look good specially on the bags. I kind of have this habit of holding back punches and cant let go of it. And it pisses me off. So i showed up almost everyday in the gym for 3 months and couldnt get rid of it. And i kind of ran in a sparring match. (Too much posing). How do you get over it? Whst perspective does a coach have on the tslented hatdworking but not aggressive fighter
