After class, its open for another 20 min to use the bags or spar or talk or whatever. I try and spar ever week and I can tell im getting better at it. Outside of class I use my heavybag for 20 min with a warmup of 5 min on jumprope and 5 of shadowboxing.
If I keep up with this how long would it take for me to get in the ring? should I look for another class with more classes per week? Any tips would be awesome. |
I was sparring in my first ever workout. On your off-days, if you can work the heavy bag and skip for total 10 rounds, you will learn fast. Don't make the mistake of trying to kill the bag, but box it. With 2 months practise you will have a jab and a right cross that will work. Hopefully you have a coach who will work with you on the punching ball, and when you are in a sparring session.
Above all else, determine to develop a real mean and hard left jab. Use it often and you will eventually be landing more of everything else
When you have sparred 70 rounds (25 sessions), your coach might get you onto a local fight card. If he is good, you will be matched pretty evenly.
LISTEN to your cornerman, and if you
do what he says, you will win more fights
Remember the last ten seconds are the longest ones of your life. Good jab gets you through it if you are tired. Skip rope a lot. Get real good at it. Good luck
Enjoy the fitness level this gives you
