Got my ass whooped in sparring!!

[Sano]

Well Dr Asshole, I haven't had any shoulder issues in more than 7 yrs of boxing. Nor have any of the over 100 kids who have trained at the gym. Please sit your unqualified ass down, you armchair idiot. K thx .

Lol! School is in session.

who are you sparring? How long have they been training? You don't expect to whoop someone whose been training for years with only 4 months of training right?

I'm training at "Rumble sports" MMA Gym in Copenhagen, Denmark. They got plenty of pro fighters but it seems like the amateurs I'm sparring with just enjoy kicking my ass, and I can't really train with the pro's either, so I just have to keep going until I get the hang of those heavy sparring sessions

Yes and while I have never kickboxed that sounds like my first 6 mos of boxing again as an adult. I went to a pretty tough, "old school style", without the brightest bulb of a coach in the box so that is like the trifecta of regular asswhippings at a gym. Oh it was also in a tough neighborhood so forget too many "empathetic" sparring partners.roflmao

My trick and it STILL pays dividends today was MASTERING that jab but moreso that DOUBLE JAB. I already have long arms but it doesn't matter if you dont you just have to work timing. Spend at Least 3 rounds a gym session on that heavy bag JABs only. Throw em in 2s or 3s. I don't want to step on your coaches toes, but we teach the small step with the jab to create more space, give a longer jab, and to add a slight bit of power. Just step 1 and a half to 2 inches forward on impact to try it. The way I teach my kids is, "pretend that you are stepping on a bug!" "Nice jab, but you forgot to step on the bug!" 2 quick steps for the double jab which you should focus on. People will block 1 but usually get hit with that 2nd. Also, they can par or shrug 1, they HAVE to move for 2 and that sets me up for my 1-1-2 that always follows. Quickly mastering that double jab going forward AND backwards is a very quick and effective way to deal with people who are on a much higher skill level than you. Trust me as I did it and now the majority of the city knows about my double and really don't like to deal with it, all because I needed to find a fast way to effectively keep em off.lol

Last thing, next you have to learn how to mix that 2 in there for added power and when you see the opportunity present itself. So that is how to turn it up if the doubles in succession(dont be afraid to throw the double 2 -3 even 4 times in a row, the goal is to start touching him.) Begin to work and you find yourself backing HIM up start mixing in that hard, fast 2! Also, if he keeps being aggressive, keeps coming forward, you have to be able to lightly touch him w/the double, he keeps coming maybe slips em, touch him again w/the d jab, he slips 1 and eats the other but keeps coming ), all this while you stepping back measuring him and if you are regularly practicing that jab you sbould know where you are and he needs to be. So you step back again, touch him with a SUPER LIGHT double jab, plant and bring that stiff, hard 2 around so its a 1-1-2, or even just immediately switch to that 1-2 but I promise if delivered correctly he WILL NOT walk through that and you will probably at the very least buckle him...maybe more.lls. You should be able to practice and land this setup ALOT now because the pecking order has already been established and they think that they can aggressively run over you. Dont be surprised if you land it 2-3xs in the same spar, but it all Stars with the double jab. My boxers will read this and know EXACTLY who it is.lmao

The jab is the most over looked punch and the double can become your best friend right now!

Thank you very much, for the very detailed advise sir, I will definitely practice my double jab so I can keep my sparring partners at a distance !!

Lol! School is in session.

Cheers Brother! Much like in the gym, I don't start them but am more than happy to finish them. I guess I am not the average er, "fighting pacifist" that frequents this board.

Repeatedly practicing a punch is a good way to get shoulder issues??? Well then, I guess every pro fighter who have been drilling the same fundamentals, footwork, and punches need to rethink their training methods because some idiot on Sherdog believes that practicing what you plan to participate in is detrimental.smh

Dude gets the Donkey of the day award. The "I dont believe he has trained a day in his life award" too.

Here for you Fam. I was right where you were! I try to be detailed because I know how it is. Work on that technique and let me know how it works for you.

Good luck!

Looool! I just came from Rumble! That's cool!

I'd like to add that Rumble Sports is not only the best MMA gym in Denmark, but one of the best in Scandinavia

The sparring varies I'd say. I feel like people only go about as hard as you go against them. Obvisouly there is a few who goes a little harder, but I feel It's pretty friendly.

Hi, Dr. Asshole, Phd in boxing and retired fighter. You're implying to repeatedly jar your shoulder from jabbing a bag relentlessly to move it and turn with more jabs. If you did those on something besides a heavy bag I wouldn't question it, seeing as there is less resistance. I actually do have shoulder injuries because I actually trained to fight.

Just read the rest of your posts, I must not have ever trained. Practicing punches doesn't necessarily have to be on a heavy bag which is what you're implying since you've stated nothing otherwise. Now you can argue you never said that, but your responses aren't warranting me to believe you're capable of intelligent thought. With all those 100's of trained kids how many are around today? I doubt many considering boxing gyms have more turnover than a bakery. Let's not forget you're now subjecting kids whom really can't hit for shit when you're conditioning for a fight.

One thing is to move to different bags, if you did this on something lighter that's fine like a double end bag.

Well? I have fought competitively as recently as 2013 and quite regularly as a child so you can stop patting yourself on the back Mr. "Grisly Retired Fighter". Did you fight pro or something and even if so if you know shit about a gym that means nothing really, as I watch pros get the business from ammys ALL THE TIME, Im sure Sinister would attest. Get off your own dick, you competed. Amazing. Show me an impressive pro record and Ill at least give you props for doing something I havent.smh. You TRAINED to fight? Or did you actually fight?lol. Big difference.

I dont know what you are talking about pushing the bag and turning, but if you got shoulder problems from running the jab drill up to 10 jabs straight and back down to 1 I would argue that you had preexisting injuries or youre just a frail mfer because I been doing the drill for more than 4 yrs and my shoulder is fine Mr. Glass. 1 time a session on a HEAVY BAG and Im fine.*gasp*

As for the kids while obviously it has a high turnover rate the Gym is in Cherry Hill the most set apart and cloistered hood in all of Bmore so while the kids might not all attend for years the neighborhood is is small square and my gym is located in the middle of the Church at the top of the "Hill" in "Cherry Hill". Surrounded by the parking lot tbat EVERYONE walks through or drives through as the main crossroad. So YES I watch 90 out of 100 of them go from shy or bad kids, to reckless teens, to whatever, they are going to become in life. I have watched some grow up and get shot and volunteered at their funerals as weol. I have been awarded by Marilyn Mosby(I provided a pic but it said it is too big tell me how to shrink it and ill post that) for my contribution in them going over a year with no murders for my work with kids at the gym. So like I said Asshole, out of me 4 other coaches and MORE than 100 kids, I have heard of no one with shoulder issues. Sorry if you can't believe it Brother, but that isnt my problem. Save your snide remarks for someone who isnt applying what they know or give a damn about you "Retired Fighter" Status.

do you play spar at all?

We practice/drill some combos on each other sometimes, but other wise it's just full on sparring

 

[Prime Yossarian]

And when somebody whining why are you always running away, just said "U Mad ?"
Good luck, bruh.

Sorry, but the idea of yelling "u mad" in a sparring session is hilarious.

Sooooo... No haha

Play sparring aka sparring with no gear on.

Saying its beneficial is an understatement.. gives you a chance to try moves/work on timing without the consequences of being blasted
