Sparrin with mates

I don't have a proper fighters mentality where they can put friendship to one side and do their job in the ring and be cool afterwards.I find it difficult and a practically a waste of time. I can not relax and let my hands go because when i have hit a friend i sort of pause and ask if they are ok which breaks the rhythm and is frustrating for them because they want to get one back and frustrating for me because I should be capatilising on the situation. So I avoid it as its just going through the motions and not really helpful for either of us.

I do it all the time, im a bit better than my mates so i just use it for a bit of fun cardio and to sharpen up a few things, work on my defence ect

To be fair tho i know plenty of mates who just go ape **** on each other and iots gravy afterwards

We're not competitive boxers or anything, but we love to throw on gloves (or at least I do and they put up with it hahaha), step out in the backyard and blow off some steam.
