you cant be tht good after a week , and ur trainer aint gonna put u in the ring after just a week cos u probs aint but u cud be one of those timewasters who come to the gym for 2 weeks then deicide to leave lol. you dont wanna be rushing into sparring either cos u cud go in get hurt and it will turn u against the sport . anyways gd luck :cool:

Your trainer will let you spar when he feels your ready

You couldnt be good after a week...n00b asshole

i sparred after 2months. i got hurt lol
but i still go.

theres a "SNAP" in my punches now.
when i started there wasnt much snap.

I used to train and my trainer started teaching me for like a month after that, it was curtains. He had me sparring his pro's and ameteur to get them ready for fights. I used to tell him that I wanted to learn more but he just put me in there to spar. Sparring can discourage anyone especially when they don't teach us shit. I stopped going for a while then I went bac cuz it is the only boxing gym around but guess what. All he told me to do was hit the bag this week and next week ill be sparring and I never went back.

If your trainer is just telling you to hit the bag then he's not much of a trainer.

Mine watches me while I hit the bag and tells me different things to do, we do focus mitts standing and while walking around the ring, and alot of other stuff.

yeah man but if u went in the ring on ur first week and got hurt it wud probs of disheartened u abit u not think?

ya seriously how do you think you can get in the ring when you dont have the tools?

Before you get in the ring you at least need some sort of jab and a right cross. (hooks come eventually, they can take time to master)

:lol1: I think he should learn a lesson and go for 3 rounds or so. I pretty sure next he wont be so damn eager to step into the ring after a weeks worth or training.

Dump the trainer and fight the toughest guy you can find....

you're not good if you've only been boxing for a week, your trainer will have you spar when you have enough skills to do it, and even then you're going to get your ass kicked because you still won't be good. it takes a while.

u sound like how i was. my trainer put me in after about a month and i thought i was more than ready. i got my ass worked. u always think your good when u start because u havent compared yourself to anyone except for what uve seen on tv.

I have a good scenario for you. (similar to the guy wanting to spar) I've been at the gym now for 2 1/2 weeks and a few days ago the coach decided I was ready to spar. I went 3 rounds and actually did really well, bloodied the guys nose pretty good and didn't get hit hardly. SO the coach invited me in today to spar with his golden gloves fighters, and I did good for 3 rounds, obviously wasn't kicking his ass, but got alot of solid jabs and crosses, and then on the 4th round I took a hard one to the nose, and for the rest of the round I was bleeding all over and getting jabbed in the nose. I still feel I did well, my double jabs and counters actually worked good, but obviously i've only been there 2 weeks so I haven't LEARNED any defense or other punches yet. I think after 3 rounds the guy figured out that I didn't have much diversity in my punches and picked me apart pretty well. So I wouldn't rush into the ring quite yet, you could be a quick learner or slow, the coach will let you know, he'll test you out on different fighters and see where you are at. Obviously I'm not at a golden glove level as I learned today, but I wasn't expecting that. :) good luck!

My friend has been boxing for 5 years now and I decided he wasn't anything so I decided to do some training with him at a gym about a year ago. I thought i was superhuman because id never been knocked down from a punch in my life but had been able to knock people down.

Got the biggest suprise of my life when we started sparring because he really went for it and i decided head gear was for pussies! I was ko'd on my feet so he stopped and I was completley disheartened after just 5 mins.

Its just something you learn from and be a bit more humble because of it. Got better now and ive never been knocked "down" still.

sparring...is probally the best hting you can do...but yuou have to pay for your mistakes....its the only time you will ever be 100% concentrated comapred to when your working the heavy bag and a hot chick walks by....

sparring is great, but if the guy your sparring is relentless and better then you(wich he mostlikely will) your gonna get ****ed up...

find someone who is your size and experience or better... and ask him if you can move around
