Rough Kids in Gyms

[n4kapa]

I know what its like to be the outsider. I go to a gym where the trainers dont even speak english. I have been to honolulu a few times and I know the hawaiians can be very racist. I'm guessing you didnt grow up on the island. possibly military? I think that if you feel that the guys are gunning for you outside of the gym and the enviroment isnt good for training then if possible you should split and go to a better gym. I wanted to start boxing years ago when I lived in louisiana. When I walked into the gym I felt like Rocky in "rocky 3". the speed bags stopped and everything. everyone was looking at me and one dude started joking about getting me in the ring. Maybe he wasnt joking... I felt uncomfortable with it cause alot of the dudes just wanted to **** me up with out giving me a chance. Looking back I wish I wouldve stayed and proved myself but its too late now. good luck.

well, you may have already decided, but if not, here's food for thought.

an unstructured gym with wild "boys" may only help you if you think you need to feel tough.


look for a gym that will help you learn the art of boxing. anybody can fight, not just anybody can box.


i've found the real badasses never really act like badasses.

the old small dogs barks loudest princip

thats my experience both in fight sports and real life
