funniest things newbies do/say in your boxing gym

[nirojsri]

What is the funniest thing you've seen or heard from a newbie in your gym.

Mine is some guy coming in saying he will be pro in 2 years and how he'll knocke everyone out. But he couldn't even do 5 laps around the gym while everyone else was doing 30. They were newbies too.

i try not to laugh at someone's simple lack of knowledge and no one like that shows up while i'm training. but it does put a smile on my face to see someone who clearly has no idea what they're doing just ****ing away on the bag.

I think its funny when they try to **** up the heavybag and look around to see if anybody is watching and try to look mean & scary.

Or when they argue with you about technique, as soon as they argue I just ignore them until they can spar. After that theyre alot more open to instruction lol. FYI I dont just run around giving tips, once in a while coach tells me to teach the new guy the basics. Pretty much every second newb lol

talking **** about other people at your gym on the internet isn't any better.

most of the time i really don't care what ppl say or do but there is one guy that kinda annoys me. he says hes training hard to fight yet doesnt show up to the gym, then you can tell he really doesn't even keep in shape out the gym because hes struggling during training......

One day a new kid shows up in my gym and the coach makes him start doing a warmup circuit. After doing 100 jumping jacks, the new kid proceeds to doing running in place and suddenly stops. The trainer comes up to him to see what is wrong.

"Why did you stop?"
"I'm getting a cramp."
"You need to eat more bananas"
"I do, coach"
"How many?"
"I usually have a banana split or two everyday"

No further questions for that kid.

Umm the ones who think there good and go ape $h!t on the bag with horrible form kinda crack me up.

But the only thing about the noobs that bugs me is when they take it to personal when the get tagged in sparring and they they get wild and literally tryin to hurt you. thats when I usually drop them with a body shot

No joke man. I almost shat myself from laughter when I heard that.
