[BRICKS]

[thatdudekdv]

shadow box, see what he had to work with.

[lfsdan]

skipped rope for 4 rounds then he had me do slip line for another 4 rounds with my right glove against my face and tied on. he would tie that damn rope on until i always kept the right glove "glued" to my cheek.

[gutto]

sparring I guess it was a put up or shut kind a thing

[TommyV]

'Are you gonna take this seriously or are you gonna just fuck about?'

Then skipping.

[Hatesrats]

Skipping rope is a trainer's way of saying
"Out of my way kid, I have better thing's to do"

Sparring as a new fighter is a way to feed their already established in gym fighters.
(Not recommended to newbies, As it only diminishes and crushes their spirit)

[Irish Fire]

The more you sweat the less you bleed.

then warm up. then skip 4 rounds. then shadowbox. then counterjab. then cooldown.

[JMonster]

showed me around and told me to hit the bag

[Kolya]

Had me stand in the mirror and showed me how to jab and stand right.

[RDJ]

Skip for 15 minutes, because that's how most of our sessions start.

[karatekid530]

the first thing he had me do was spar a little with everybody in the gym. i got beat up all night but came in the next day and from there we've been cool.

[Duhswag]

First thing I did when I walked into my current gym was spar... boy was I tired after those 3 rounds. In the one previous to that was learn the stance correctly and shadow box.

[Diomedes]

Got me to put my name down in the book and look at a piece of paper with information about the club.

He told me if I really wanted to box to come back in six months. I did and haven't missed a training session since. He's since adopted a new rule with the newbies and makes them all wait 3 months before they can come and train. So far it seems to be working pretty well in weeding out the impulsive people who think trying boxing would be fun or cool and end up quitting after he wastes a week of training on them.

Sounds like a good warm up :good lol

[Youngblood]

Asked me what I knew about boxing. I fearfully, truthfully told him, "Nothing".

He smiled and said, "Perfect." Then sent me to go buy him a coffee.

[natep]

three rounds of skipping rope. i never knew that would be so fucking difficult.

[PugilisticPower]

I was only 8 at the time, so he gave me a pair of gloves and told me to go hit a bag.

[cannabis]

told me to turn around and never return

[twoohands]

told me to turn around and never return
----------

why did he tell you to turn around and never return. Did you do something wrong or was it his attitude

[cannabis]
