Of course you suck. Its your first sparring session. I sparred my first month of training and I ****** but now im 3 months in, and i'll be fighting next month. 3 months is a little early, but my coach thinks im ready in terms of skill level just need to get my endurance up. Plus, im pretty much at the perfect age to soak up the information, being fourteen and all.


How old are you? How long have you been training?

Everyone sucks on their first day of sparring.

IM in my early 20s and no I have no dreams of going pro. Im just doing it to stay in shape. I would like to do a coupla amateur fights.

The physical part aint so bad cuz Im not too long out the military..actually kinda easy to be honest..IM used to running five miles every other day and strenous exercise...its just tha footwork part. I "felt" like IM faster and stronger than my sparring partner its just he had alil more experience....like 6 prior sessions he said. I just started learning the basics like last month.

he took it alil easy on me but I really felt like in a real fight I coulda hurt him something awful with one of my punches. to be fair he coulda done the same to me likewise.

The first gym I was going to showed me the stance, the jab and the straight punch with my left...Ima south paw....the basic movements and thats it.

the one I go to now actually give advice and tips and stuff.

[McAlister]

everyone dont suck on they first day, u have ya fighters thats just naturally talented and do fairly well they first time in the ring......


but its nothing wrong with doing crappy on ya first day of sparring... its pretty common... just keep at it, you'll get better

keep ya head up

Yeah thats what Im talkin about, but its guys like achillies who ****** majorly and thinks everyone else does they first time in there lol just cuz he did

[Samuel F.]

Maybe he should rephrase. Everyone sucks their first time if they haven't had alot of training and/or they are going up against anyone with a decent skill level. Like I sparred my coach the first time.
