    I went to an american boxing gym and they told me "we don't throw punches"

    They told me that for the first 2 years of training you only practice slipping shots, clinching, and how to move around the ring

    is this normal?

      It must have been a TMT gym


      If you join, they will eventually teach you how to use PEDs and IVs too

          what gym? and no...thats not normal

          most coaches say a fighter doesnt have a good and proper stance until a full year of training. I can see that because fighters evolve daily

                  Dude I'm a boxing trainer...that's total nonsense! You must have gone into a "white collar gym".
