When Did You Start Hitting Focus Mitts?

[Shabba Rank$]

My trainer wants to wait till another month or so to get me on the pads.

When did you guys start hitting the focus pads?

My trainer wants to wait till another month or so to get me on the pads.

When did you guys start hitting the focus pads?

The very first day in the gym.

Did he tell you why?

[hugh grant]

I started hitting the focus pad as soon as i bought the gloves and pads. I hold a pad in my right hand, put a glove on my left hand and smash the glove in my right hand holding the pad.

why does he want you to wait?

[Cuauhtémoc1520]

It's good to wait, most of my students don't even throw a punch until weeks after they started. (If they have never boxed)

First thing you need to do is get them in shape then teach them to stand and move properly and that can take weeks if not months depending on the student.

first day in the gym. prior to that i had trained myself so i knew a little bit about what i was doing.

[chef22]

After a few weeks I did. A lot of coaches want to make sure you can punch so they don't get hit in the face. At least that's what i was told by a few coaches I have worked with.

I hope your not serious.

[Shabba Rank$]

Well I started boxing only about a month in a half ago.

But I'm starting sparring before I hit the mitts...

Seems odd to me...

[hugh grant]

I hope your not serious.

Yes i am im afraid. Other than that i get my friend to hold the pads for me and he isnt a trainer so i just hit them without getting much benefit.

I dont really know what to ask him to do really as well. I havent got a coach or go to a gym just yet.
All my work is theoretical.
