What is the funniest thing you've seen or heard from a newbie in your gym.

Mine is some guy coming in saying he will be pro in 2 years and how he'll knocke everyone out. But he couldn't even do 5 laps around the gym while everyone else was doing 30. They were newbies too.

i try not to laugh at someone's simple lack of knowledge and no one like that shows up while i'm training. but it does put a smile on my face to see someone who clearly has no idea what they're doing just banging away on the bag. :D

I think its funny when they try to **** up the heavybag and look around to see if anybody is watching and try to look mean & scary.

Or when they argue with you about technique, as soon as they argue I just ignore them until they can spar. After that theyre alot more open to instruction lol. FYI I dont just run around giving tips, once in a while coach tells me to teach the new guy the basics. Pretty much every second newb lol

talking shit about other people at your gym on the internet isn't any better.

most of the time i really don't care what ppl say or do but there is one guy that kinda annoys me. he says hes training hard to fight yet doesnt show up to the gym, then you can tell he really doesn't even keep in shape out the gym because hes struggling during training......

One day a new kid shows up in my gym and the coach makes him start doing a warmup circuit. After doing 100 jumping jacks, the new kid proceeds to doing running in place and suddenly stops. The trainer comes up to him to see what is wrong.

"Why did you stop?"
"I'm getting a cramp."
"You need to eat more bananas"
"I do, coach"
"How many?"
"I usually have a banana split or two everyday"

No further questions for that kid.

Umm the ones who think there good and go ape $h!t on the bag with horrible form kinda crack me up.

But the only thing about the noobs that bugs me is when they take it to personal when the get tagged in sparring and they they get wild and literally tryin to hurt you. thats when I usually drop them with a body shot

Trainer was just like, "I said BANANAS, boy!". The kid just got real scared, and stopped training. I never saw him in the gym after that though. Funny kid must be said.

when a new dude goes all out on the bag for 20 seconds and then stands and looks at the bag for the rest of the round.

:sad: I have a habit of screaming Ricky Hatton style when I'm doing mitts (only when I start to get tired though..) and subconsiously I think about not doing it but then as soon as I concentrate back on hitting the mitts I start back up! Hahahaha.. I feel hella stupid and bad for people who have to listen to me but for some reason when I'm hella tired, it makes me feel like I can exhert more force and resist from quitting if I .. yell? scream? Whatever.

And yes, I've been boxing for years. Not a newbie but you'd expect a new kid to try and attract attention this way so I decided to post it! :crazy:

Why do people who start boxing, who've never had fighting experience, think they can go pro? I mean anyone can go pro, but chances are you'll get your ass whooped if you don't know what you're doing.

I want to go pro, but i still have a lot to learn. I'll get there. It just takes time and hard work.

Of course everyone wants to be a pro...but nobody wants to put in the effort or dedication....which is why most people fail.

What's so bad about that? Sure the cheap everlast stuff isn't very good, but how is a new guy supposed to know that?

Nothing wrong with that. It gets more air out of your lungs/gets the air out faster. Don't worry about what other people will think and try doing it all the time, not just when you are tired. You won't get tired as quickly.

the gloves will offer much better protection for your hand and a better punch

If anything, it would be more funny to see a newbie show up to the gym his first day wearing 100 dollar gloves. If you ask me, I have respect for people regardless of what gloves they wear. Like someone else said, it's ****ed up to laugh at someone when they simply can't afford expensive gloves, but still love the sport.

The gloves don't make the boxer.

Two GG winners, both of whom are projected to go to Vegas this year.. still don't have there own gloves and use the ones the gym provide. I think it's funny that people make fun of people because they can't afford shit.

Most likely, the humble and poor ones will beat the shit out of your cocky ass anyway.

I'm new to boxing, but aren't many pro boxers of humble origins? & isn't/wasn't boxing cosidered a blue collar sport.

Anyhow, some of the shit y'all posted is funny.

I couldnt think of anything that was that funny, I think most new guys pretty much feel pretty nervous and try not to make a dick of themselves.

One thing that is amusing is watching them trying to skip for the first time, especially when they do those girly schoolyard type skips and theres a few of them doing it at the same time. or totally warped attempts at hand wrapping, but I will show them tho.

I saw a big bodybuilder lookin guy come to the gym and shadowbox, hed stand sideways to the mirror throw a jab as fast as he could (f-ing slow) and freeze at the end, look in the mirror and check out his triceps lol. He'd flex doing everything. It just slowed him down.

He asked what kind of routine I was doing when I was doing calisthenics and stuff after my regular work and I told him to just join in and find out. Guy could barely do 3 pullups and 25 pushups....he continued flexing his arms between sets looking at them...ugh *face palm*

his clapping pushups were god aweful, barely came 1 inch off the floor. He almost fell on his face a couple times....I couldnt help but let out a little snicker when he did cuz he looked around kinda scared that anybody saw. Guy has the hugest ego/self loving crap I've ever seen.

He keeps coming back though so thats good. He usually joins in whenever Im doing something, I'll make a beast out of him yet!!
