New to the sport

I've done karate for 5 years and mma training for a little over a year, I have training partners and a coach, but I dont train at a gym, I train out of my basement with some basics (bag, gloves, simple weights, etc). My state doesnt have very many boxing events however, and my training partners and coach would not be able to make it out of state with me. Is it a bad idea to train with them and have a family member corner me to do the basic "corner things" (ice being the main one)?

Any suggestions help. Thanks guys!
