if youre a female and they are boys they could prob beat u up regardless so yes it'd be good sparring for u

im just going to keep this short and sweet. would u spar when your coach asks yo to spar with kids in your gym ages 8 to 13 prepping for their bouts? I'm the smallest and shortest active fighter in my gym. female

Yes. Spar ANYONE your coach tells you to given he's a real boxing coach. I've worked with 80 pounders and 300 pounders. Obviously with kids you need to simulate the experience for them and help them out. I've worked 4 or 5 rounds, and then coach puts a 13 year old in there. It actually is really good work for them.

Hey guys I just made a new account and need to let you all know that I'm a female.

Either PM me your pics and I'll confirm or stop larping as a female. Attention whoring hope the kids knock you spark out.

ah no. are female boxers really uncommon here that you're so triggered like that?

girls and a boy. i had only sparred with men when prepping for a bout all year. they're actually very good kids just needed confidence at this point in my opinion

depends what you mean by "spar". Drills and messing around are fine but i wouldn't feel comfortable properly sparring with anyone that young. For the same reason i've always found it difficult to spar with females or males multiple weight classes below myself.

I would absolutely never spar with anyone who is 8. They should be practising against other kids under the supervision of a qualified instructor. If they were to get hurt in anyway it would get very complicated and ethically questionable.

You are well within reason to tell your instructor that you are not comfortable with it and refuse to partake.

No stick to your age your height or bigger if you want gains hell just work on your physique and technique

i always get a sparring sesh with coach before the little ones (older and waaayyy bigger ) i think the only problem i have with this situation was me constantly worrying about hurting them too much despite of me gauging so i am really going to have to talk to my coach about them having more spar time with each other they're literally about the same ages as my kids
