Hey guys,
I'm new to boxing, I recently joined a gym and have been there a few times already. I love it so far, and my trainer said my technique is good for a beginner (this might be from just watching a ton of youtube videos/fights and practicing in the mirror)
I lot of people go to the gym to just lose weight and get in shape, but I am there to actually learn how to box. I'm already in pretty good shape (or better than most) and I am more interesting in learning proper technique, than just wailing on a bag to work up a sweat.
The gym is an hour and half commute for me (no gyms closer), so I can only get there twice a week. With 2x a week training sessions at a boxing gym, and working on a heavy bag/shadow boxing/conditioning on my own, how long do you guys think I should train before considering sparring? I feel like that would be the best learning experience for me, but I don't want to step into a ring to early and just get destroyed by someone with more experience.
Also, I have been downloading videos of some of my favorite fighters fighting and training (most recently canelo) and watching them in slow motion and frame by frame to observe their form, can you guys recommend me any fighters who have very solid technique for me to study? or any specific videos even? thanks!
