i dont d boxing as such, i train with a few people who go my gym and one night out we mentioned about doing boxing and the boxers wanted to do kickboxing/ju jitsu to learn as a point of interest as they never use there feet and chris its about to start hes personal security soon and wants to get a load of licences.... so we added sunday as a fitness/boxing/kick boxing/ju jitsu as well as stamina training with a bosnia teacher whos a CUNT and wont let us relax/drag out feet,,, the mans the devils nightmare i swear

hes fucking good though,,,,,, just hes not a nancy nancy trainer and when you got a weak spot he tells you, teaches you THEN THE CUNT USES IT AGAINST YOU UNTIL YOU LEARN

its fun, its hard work for 5 hours and cant do saturdays on the beer as the bosnian will work you harder and you will practically throw up when warming up,,,, and he will carry on working you hard,,,,,,

infact simon i was out last night on the piss, i had 3 stellas, 1 tequila and then i was on redbulls from 12,,,,, its like going out and working in the morning,,,,, BUT ACTUALLY HAVING A HARD WORKING JOB

since we been doing this though ive learned alot of stuff that i can use,,,, the locks are the best thing ive ever learnt,,,,, sorting a issue without having to break a sweat,,,,,, cant be bad idea can it

grappling on the floor is also fun,,,,, just other stuff aint and it hurts bad

If you want to get into boxing for fitness then look for a local club and they will have trainers how can assist you on a fitness program. Dont believe you will climb into the ring for sparring and do ok as you will get embarrassed badly.

As for your question boxing forms, i presume you mean fighting styles such as Outfighting where you work from range behind your jab or infighting where you look to get close and hit with mutliple punches.

If you mean defensive guards such as Peek a boo or the philly shell then these are things a proper boxing trainer will teach based on what he believes your ability to be.

christ you know alot

im doing it as a hobby tbh, its not fitness as such but more to help me speed up reactions when training to get bigger in the gym,,,,,, and socialise too

actually i dont know why im doing it,, but its fun i guess

your SOOOO right about sparing though,,,,,, i done boxing for a few months when i was 14 and i thought i was good at it,,, all i learnt was blocks and how to stand and thow a punch and spar in a mirror,,,, in the ring im a fucking disgrace

hes ALWAYS doing good,,,,, im surpised people dont think that,,,, you just need to go on a night out with him and try and keep up with the drinks/cabs/food ect then remember hes got 2 kids with seperate women he looks after WELL, look at hes clothes hes got, look at the car hes got ( though its going ), look at all the jewelery hes got,,,

I have issue keeping up with him at times,,,,,, we went to egg a few months ago and that night i spent just over 300 quid,,,,,, i paied more visits to a cashpoint that night than i do in a month

to do that and still have what hes got, fair play to him,,,, i go out with him twice a month,, hes ALWAYS out on the weekend,,,,, we eat at nandos 4 times a month, other stuff aswell we do, alot of time hes pays for stuff too or buys things for me or my little one that he thinks is a deal,,,,,,, but hes still saving up too

infact one day ill call you and fill you in a theres ALOT of stuff even i wouldnt share on a forum
i told him last night that if i ever lost my job id need to get a new mate

he also copys me too though,,,,, i just bought a tv,, so he was thinking of buying one and when i told him i bought one the fucker got one aswell so its nice to see i still catch him out at times

the best thing though is he will always mention when i looked after him when he was a little short of cash and never asked for the cash back,,, due to this hes seems to constantly look out for me when he can

mans got heart of gold when you know him,,, which is ironic as the people he who think they know him will never know

My dad use to teach in our local boxing club and helped train fighters such as Ray Close and John Lowry when they where first starting out\as kids. He used to teach me and my brothers as well but we where all into football.

If you are looking to quicken up then I would recommend using a floor to ceiling ball and a speed bag as these improve your hand speed but also the floor to ceiling bag will improve your side to side movement and reflexes and most importantly timing.
