Boxing gym doesnt allow hard sparring, only touch sparring once a week

LOL at this thread. Sounds like a YMCA bathroom gym.

you got any fights comeing up danny?

[Olympia77]

you dont go hard because you are novices[newbies]when you are ready they will allow full sparring,if you swing like you are swatting flies then no you cant do hard sparring

no, i have competed before.
They want us to compete but dont want hard sparring, the coach thinks its dangerous. Makes no sense at all

Dude, go to the gym 7 miles away

Ride your bike, or run there

If you really want it, you will make the sacrifice to get there

Bro I am at uni. The university boxing is ****. Just light sparring as you say and full of people wanting to do boxercise. Then they say they want fights next month based on that training. I go to a local gym in a taxi there and back which costs about £20 p/w. Meaning bare money to live from. If you really want it you will go to the local boxing gym otherwise you have no right to complain.

[Del Coqui]

its pathetic, there is an alternative gym but its 7 miles away and you are not allowed to bring a car in your first year of Uni.
I want to go far in the sport but it seems like everything is holding me back

Anyone got this problem?

:gay:........................

Just go to the gym 7 miles away you talk about not having a car but you could take a bus or ride a bike there.

[Alexandros]

yeah just speed it up and rough it up little by little so they wont notice it.

I sincerely hope no one fights out of that ***** touch sparring gym, they would get absolutely battered in a fight, **** would be nasty.

7 miles? I wish my gym was that close. I'm 15 miles away and find a way to get there 6 days a week.

LOL thats so true! I dont get the logic in that at all how are they supposed to get the feel and get ready for a real fight
