I have just come back from my 1st boxing session and I loved it to be honest. My trainer says he sees pottential in me but I have to work hard to get my full pottential out which is a fair point. But he also sais I fight like a pro fighter more than an amateur fighter, what does he meen by this I thought boxing was boxing and thats it.

Thanks in advance,

Joe

That you are slow and scared/cautious.

It means you duck other fighters.

:werd:

you need to stop messing around and making excuses about your money share, just sign the contract and fight

Maybe he was just being nice so you'd come back? :joke:

I have no idea after one session. How he can say that already is beyond me. But basically means that you fight ina a more conserative, relaxed style and may use a low guard.

Ok cheers for the info back I forgot to ask him what he meant after the session so I will ask him next time.

If you loved it then you obviously were not trained well.

I guess that depends on the person. My first lesson lasted about an hour and a half and my trainer worked me so hard I threw up. Then I had to sit in my car outside the gym for about 15- 20 minutes because my arms felt like lead I could barley put them on the steering wheel to drive. Call me crazy, but after getting my ass handed to me like that I knew it could only get easier from there… sort of. I loved it!

That is sort of how I felt, and yes I threw up but 5-10 minute rest and I carried on. The 1st 30 mins felt like hell but at the end of it I realised it may be tiring and I may feel like absolute s**t but atleast I done it and I know that my fitness is poor so atleast I now know how poor it is and have people who can guide me in the right direction to sorting it out.

what kind of training did you do? i remember my first time was basically basics. I slowly got into the hard training

Training was mainly cardio then he showed me the basic defence and basic punching techniques then went onto the bags and got some good tips of other fighters there then more cardio and then shadow boxing then warm down.

just a word of caution i have seen a lot of so called trainers pump people up with statements like that to try to make money. to say someone fights like a pro without seeing you fight and without you a least knowing the basics is nonsence. i am not tring to say you arnt a natural which is a very realistic thing to say to someone on thier first day, but that pro statment is silly. be carefull with someone who is going to teach you something if they try to flatter you instead of encourage you
