sparred with my little brother just now(he's 17, i'm 20)

[juggernautburn]

it helps to eliminate the initial fear/apprehension of physical contact that most people have
but like he said
doin it against someone who u just said u had to teach some basic punches
and then the next day "sparred" with him
isnt the same as gettin into an actual ring with someone who knows
or like you has had more then one quick lesson
but its always fun to play boxer with friends and family

thanks man. i will eventually get into the ring and spar experienced fighters. i'll even risk accumulating bad habits in the process. that may not be smart in some peoples opinions, but i'm going to do what i want to do.

if someone like punch drunk, versatile, and anyone who's not a complete novice comes in here and absolutely no-goes it, i just may consider discontinuing this "sparring" and i put it into quotes because i guess it isn't really sparring in some people's standards.

Put it this way: Your brother will learn more than you, but it's not useless at all. Sparring someone less experienced than you, can sometimes be helpful, since you can concentrate on trying stuff you normally won't do. Just don't go too hard on the kid, like older brothers tend to do!

i was in no way tryin to stop u from "sparren" with your bro
im the reigning champ of the aguilar household
aswell as other subtitles amongst friends and cousin/uncles
i was just sayin take it for what it is
just remember what it aint
if ya cant get some real sparren
then why not

its no different then when people play catch
or shoot some hoops
they dont go say i ran some drills
or im in training
idk
to me the word sparren means somethin a lil more serious then me n my bro who i just taught to punch
or even in my case
which me n my brother both love the sport
both workout
both work the bag
but we know we arent boxers
were enthusiast
who lace up the gloves and throw some punches at each other

Agree with Abdiel. If there's no other sparring to be had, it's definitely better than nothing, and hey, it's fun!

I always try to get my brothers to spar a few rounds when I see them; it may not make the best possible training, but it's still useful. And it's good bonding.

unless if something like this happens:



that is why you the bigger brother shouldnt be a jerk

im lucky,my best mate goes to the same gym as me and we are so equal its un real and cause i have known him for so long and had fights with him and **** like mates do its easier to handle taking a punch off him

[mgkirkpatrick]

i do most of my sparring with my brother. actually its more like im his heavy bag.
