first spar today and i didnt know what i was doing

[potatoes]

i spar today with a guy thats been fighting for some time my trainer tells me to spar and i didnt learn anything but the jab one two. i got beat and everyone at the gym thought it was funny. i been training for a 1month half. i didnt like that the trainer had me spar so soon this has really got me feeling down because i was getting beat. what the best way to get my confidence back up. iam mad about this.

6 weeks is not necessarily too early to start sparring. It all depends on the talent you bring to the gym and the training you receive. From what you have said I suspect you did not get the ring drills to prepare you for defense. If everybody in the gym has had much more experience, those are the guys with whom you must spar. Then of course you would need more defensive prepartion. If I was training you that is what would happen.


How many boxing clubs are there in your area? Sounds to me like you should try another one where they actually train people!

my trainer told me i was gonna spar and all i did was throw punches at someone who was training for a fight and he would defend himself
wasnt that bad tho

lol they tried to do that to me at my gym, but i was a little sick that day. They didnt train me much either in a month, one day out of nowhere the coach told me to throw hooks when i hadnt learned them yet. Gym's still good though. Do you by any chance go to Charm city?
