What do I need to spar

[David06]

You need to train at an actual boxing gym before you even think about sparing. Our gym requires 8 weeks of training before they let you in the ring.

Wow that's it? I've been training about 6 weeks. If my trainer told me to get in the ring 2 weeks from now, I wouldn't feel ready, not even close.

Thats to get in the ring with the trainer. Everyones first sparing session is against a trainer going easy on them in my gym. You have to go really easy on green guys their first 5 or so times in the ring. Mainly just jab them and touch them with the right hand. You dont really put anything into your punches. Just tap openings.

With the thing about 16 oz gloves! Use them because when you go to fight ameture with 10 ounce you'll be fast as lightening seriously it feels like your wearing nothing if you've been training with 16 oz
