its pathetic, there is an alternative gym but its 7 miles away and you are not allowed to bring a car in your first year of Uni.
I want to go far in the sport but it seems like everything is holding me back

Anyone got this problem?

just go hard anyways and see what they do.

Can't you just explain your circumstance to your uni? I'm sure they'd understand.

i wish, but its strictly forbidden.

Also the gym is just crammed with people, and we tend to switch from partner to partner quickly which is good but not enough time.

Where i used to live it just wasnt so stuctured, if you wanted to spar someone you did. That said the coach always made sure you had a hard nights sparring session. It was no surprise they had the best fighters in their town.

LOL at this thread. Sounds like a YMCA bathroom gym.

more of a commercial gym, they dont give a damn about the fighters; only the profits they make

LMAOOOOOOO:boxing:

lol dude, alternate gym 7 miles away. I rode a bike 4 days a week 10 + miles there and back when I was 12 yrs old. And my bike sucked balls, barely worked. Not exactly a tough obstacle is it.

no, i have competed before.
They want us to compete but dont want hard sparring, the coach thinks its dangerous. Makes no sense at all

Dude, go to the gym 7 miles away

Ride your bike, or run there

If you really want it, you will make the sacrifice to get there

Bro I am at uni. The university boxing is ****. Just light sparring as you say and full of people wanting to do boxercise. Then they say they want fights next month based on that training. I go to a local gym in a taxi there and back which costs about £20 p/w. Meaning bare money to live from. If you really want it you will go to the local boxing gym otherwise you have no right to complain.

:gay:........................

Just go to the gym 7 miles away you talk about not having a car but you could take a bus or ride a bike there.

yeah just speed it up and rough it up little by little so they wont notice it.

I sincerely hope no one fights out of that ***** touch sparring gym, they would get absolutely battered in a fight, **** would be nasty.

7 miles? I wish my gym was that close. I'm 15 miles away and find a way to get there 6 days a week.

I sincerely hope no one fights out of that ***** touch sparring gym, they would get absolutely battered in a fight, **** would be nasty.

LOL thats so true! I dont get the logic in that at all how are they supposed to get the feel and get ready for a real fight

train hard at your gym and call other gyms in the area for sparing im pretty sure they will let u come in and spar with some of there fighters if they have people your weight

Find somebody who wants to go hard and partner up.

If you both agree to a brawl there is no reason for anyone else to care.

Come to Manchester (UK) you can spar as hard as you like there on a friday and sat night.lol

Yeah definatley the Gold Gloves this March and I may turn pro for a few fights to say I did it.

if the gym is for newbies then yeah no hard sparring,because the trainer is right it is dangerous,wild punching,haymaker throwing punches will cause dislocated shoulders,so be patient when you are ready[if ever]they will allow hard sparring:boxing:
