Misc Boxers...Signed up for Boxing lessons...what do I expect first class?

Signed up and paid. 3 private classes a week for 2 months. I consider it a Boxing bootcamp. Absolutely stoked.

I have decent cardio(Can run 8min miles until I get bored) but from a sprint POV, its definitely not as good.

What do I expect and what can I do to make the most of this? Starts a month from now. Any boxers on the misc?

First things first you're going to either want to kick somebody's ass or become somebody's bitch

Things are pretty straightforward from there

Nice brah. I always wanted to take boxing when I was younger since I’ve been a fan of the sweet science forever. Never got around to it growing up, ended up in Krav Maga instead for a little while, which was cool. But let us know how your boxing experience goes. Might inspire me to take it up now as an adult.

For advice, I know SicilianPower has been taking boxing for a long time. He mentioned training at an old school gym and getting ring time.

BrunoTheBoxer too, I think his username is srs.

In for more miscers’ advice.

I've been wanting to take boxing, unfortunately there are no good legit boxing gyms near me. Found a lot of those lame "boxercise" gyms though that women love

First couple classes will be boring

They will show you stance, footwork..somehow you will end up drench at the end of it though..atleast I did.

Don't forget to flex your arms when you throw punches. Really helps you to throw harder punches.

There’s one of those near me. It’s just soccer moms hitting the heavy bag to some music. I inquired about it before because the facility seemed nice walking by, but the training is not at all geared towards anyone who’d want to seriously train.

They actually had a coach from their camp go pro and the dude looked awful in the ring. Can’t knock anyone for stepping up but he ended up getting KO’d by Edgar Berlanga in the first round. Not a good look for his gym lol.

I had a boxing gym for a bit, but stopped. Didn't take it serious, didn't have a sparring partner because all the adults trained mornings.

I'm looking to join Muay Thai ASAP and stick with it

Same boat as you brah

I have a coach I’m seeing 1-2 times a week for private lessons over the past couple of months

He puts me through a 10 minute warmup of skipping, doing jumping jacks, running on the spot etc and it’s actually hard AF especially if you were a gymcel like me with no cardio

I had never thrown a punch before at 31 so we really started with the basic mechanics

Learning to stand properly, then learning how to rotate your hips properly to throw a punch, then actually learning a few punches, then learning some combos (keep in mind all stationary) and he’ll make me do these movements again and again until I perfect them

Recently we’ve been in the ring doing pad work and learning footwork … I’ll move around the ring and throw different punches at his pads and hell clip me if I don’t get my hands back up or block properly

Also learning some defensive stuff too which I’m really bad at… it’s really tough for me to block because I’m not quick enough but trying

We do minimal bag work but he lets me stay after for whatever group lesson he’s doing and then I’ll hit the bag with the group class

Anyways the whole experience thus far really made me realize how out of shape I am and how much I’d get wrecked by someone with fighting experience … I’ll be less likely to mouth off to anyone in a bar for example going forward cause ya never know

All in all great sport, workout and plan on continuing for years

I also practice in my condo lol

It varies alot. Some boxing classes are glorified Tae Bo cardio sessions. Others actually teach you to spar and box, and require a partner. Though it would have to be a pretty hardcore gym to throw you to the wolves sparring with a partner right off the bat.

When I was like 17/18 I spent like a month getting my ass kicked by a 35 year old because I was bloat maxing and had no cardio

Yeah a few really dumb bar fights when I was like 19/20 (never again)

Then some hockey fights

So I guess I should have said I’ve never thrown a “proper” punch before

I'm not trying to get thrown into the wolves right away srs. Too old for that. I want to learn SOMETHING before that. My program is 2 months. After that Idc throw me in.

I've seen them around. Might ask them some questions or hope they pop in here. I know sicilian is active. Krav Maga seems legit though.

Thanks for writing out your experience srs. Seems to be the exact experience I am looking for. I'm in good shape + decent strength, but never thrown a punch in my life or taken a hit so its time to change that.

Cannot wait dfs.

Yeah that's a nice generic post there Timmy trying to play it off.

This guy posts some vague **** that one might experience in the gym and tries passing it off as real.

Everybody here knows you got laughed out of the gym for having chicken legs and wearing a toupee.

You posted the thread yourself like a month ago.

Why even bother posting ITT it's not like it's a thread about wearing a toupee or living in a trailer home.

Be sure to post in those threads if they ever come up, where we know you have actual experience, instead of rehashing scenarios you've already been ethered out of.

I'd start doing a lot of full body plyometric type stuff. It'll be more similar to your warmups and training, the less you focus on how tired you are (and actually how tired you are) during training, the more you will get out of it. If all you're thinking about is how hard it is or how tired you are, the benefits you take away will be a lot less.
