had my first sparring session today

Its depending on your experience for one, and the guy who your fighting. There are guys who are 5-0 in the amatuers that arent nearly as good as their record shows.

Ive done light sparring, not even close to full speed, and it wasnt even in a ring. Im looking foreward to getting in there for the first time. Whether I get my ass kicked or not, I just want to get it over with.

i ******. i even fell. but the guy said he still had a headache and it was 3 days later.

appreciate the advice and replies however it is what it is. I didnt get knockdown but lets say it was uhh...open face season.

so im wondering if its safe to say that in order to fully appreciate shadow boxing one has to first spar...or no?

no. u dont have to spar if u dont wanna. spar is usually for conditioning and testing out some of the stuff u did in shadow boxing and on the bags and for some,when they have a fight. u can just enjoy shadowboxing though i used to.lets u fantasize about actually fighting in your head

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

dude regardless of what you say you still suck on the first time.. you might not have ****** as much but still did. you can't tell someone you had a little bit of training on something then all the sudden your the greatest on the first try.

my 15 year old cousin on his first spar was actually really good. it was surprising. but he doesnt wanna box ne more. he was so relaxed and calm

I start next week.. I have been in at least 6 street fights so hopefully that helps. I already know how to keep my guard up and how to stand so hopefully I pick it up easy. Why doesn't he want to box anymore?

[moetorious]

just keep tryin man eventually ull get good.

In my first sparring session i was a lot stronger than the other guy but he was more skilled having been there longer and had fast hands. He probably won the round but I manhandled him when things got close and I landed enough big shots so that he spent the rest of the round at a distance. Then the other 2 rounds were fairly even
