Me sparring after 8 months of experience

[Ido]

I want to point out that Within the first year of my cuz, training. He was sparing around twice a week. Not counting all the sparing he head outside the gym.

In two years time, he competed in the states Golden Gloves, and made it to the semi finals. He is someone you would like some tips, or feedback. I contacted him about this topic, and your video. I am sure he will get around to respond, and give you his 2cents.

You weigh 130sih. Judging from the video, your 5'7 ish?

You've only been training for 8 months? Pretty damn good, bro. Seriously, you should change your mindset and be more humble. You don't want to walk around thinking you'll destroy everybody in your weight class. Theres always someone out there who is either more experienced, stronger, or faster than you.

thx i appreciate the motivation..confidence is just as important as humbleness.. ive come this far in 8 months because ive been humble and willing to learn and improve

If you want to be great at something then you should expect the criticism based on the level you aspire to reach. When I hand in a law assignment they don't mark it to the standard of someone who has been studying law for two and a half years they mark it to the standard of a senior judge publishing a law report. Even when I receive a 2:1 the criticism is brutal.

You should also develop a thicker skin towards the criticism offered to you, as things stand they are coming from a bunch of strangers when you are under no pressure. If you continue with the sport you will inevitably receive criticism when you are pressured by a potential loss.

At the end of the day you have confidence in your talent, you had the courage to step in the ring, you don't need the validation of people over the internet. If you acknowledge the problems, speak to your trainer, if you feel it is too harsh treat it as water off a duck's back.

i see what ur saying but i feel like ur just looking to find something to criticize instead of looking to show a unbiased evaluation. you dont bring up anything good i did but thats just ur personality trait.
