i tried getting into boxing to get fit and learn basic self defense but like 90% of the guys in the gym are faggots that hate their life and are angry all the time who try to knock you out when you're light sparring. i think i'll just stick to lifting weights
>>76350750 (OP)Yeah you idiot these are people who think it's perfectly fine to exchange repeated blows to the head what do you expect
I tried boxing once and I was pretty new but I was in very good shape. I'd train with boomers and at first it was pretty overwhelming because of how new I was but they'd gas out quick and then it almost felt like abuse.
The level of that gym was pretty low obviously. I also went to a kickboxing gym full of people my age and they basically just beat my shit up.
So I'd say that meme has it backwards. The boomers on their third divorce were basically punching bags after a few minutes, while the 20 year olds just beat your shit up without breaking a sweat.
>>76350794nah, 30yo failed marriage boomer rage beats 20yo youth
>>76350750 (OP)You're better off in a TMA school if that's all you want. Like Karate or Judo. BJJ is ok too but they have a high amount of tryhards as well & the joke about it being gay... Well it's not a joke.
>>76350750 (OP)>i tried getting into boxing to get fit and learn basic self defense but like 90% of the guys in the gym are faggots that hate their life and are angry all the time who try to knock you out when you're light sparring.Sounds like those are the perfect sparring partners to learn self defense, you think only ever no touch sparring will prepare you if you ever need it?
Lmao what a faggot.
>>76350750 (OP)>SparringYeah that's why people do BJJ you can hard spar and it doesn't matter but yeah a lot of dudes just use boxing gyms as a way to take their frustrations out on others.
>>7635081330 year olds are in their prime. 35 year olds if they're bigger.
>>76351786spoken like an absolute retarded faggot who has never trained
>>76350750 (OP)Your gym is shit, find a better one
You'll never learn anything with haymakers throwing retards and will always have shitty form that any 12 yo mexican't who's been boxing his mom's ovaries in the womb can see through and knock you out
>>76351871>Says the tranny that literally made a thread about being scared of sparring hard >I'll just stick to lifting weights What an absolute faggot, not only a dyel that can't fight but also a coward faggot.
>>76353483enjoy getting cte from retarded gorilla niggers like yourself that dont know how to spar LOL
>>76350750 (OP)Thats pretty normal where i am as well. Most fight gyms are full of 30+ year olds that failed to make it pro or failed to make it at all, work deadend security/bouncer jobs and are just angry all the time, add roids to the mix as well.
Either look for another gym or try Judo, BJJ or Karate. Much fewer of the angry types in those.
>>76350750 (OP)You’re a soft bitch anon. Back in my day we had a guy at my BJJ/Boxing gym that would go 100% all the time and pissed off every one else who didn’t want a challenge. I always partnered up with him and we’d both not hold back. Was a fun time
>>76350813I was training with 35-45 years olds. they would start strong but turn into mush after 3 minutes and then you could just slap their shit. I think I was 22 back then and fit as fuck
>>76351871Nope. He’s right. Seethe pussy
>>76350750 (OP)>Years doing casually boxing, then get into MMA >Training casually, most people training in my gym are underage low income guys>Nice kids, training very hard and doing jiujitsu, some of them with Muay Thai background>Club organizes an amateur event, nothing official with other clubs>Decide to join to try it, "it must be fun, it's not serious">Enter coked out 24 year old, with tats and angry face>First punch rocks meh, somewhere along the third punch my thumb is broken but I'm a dumbass and continue fighting >Coked out guy decides to punch me in the back of the head even though he was already dominating the fight>Referee doesn't do anything because my coach complained the previous fight about intervening too soon.Never again even though I miss it a lot.
>>76353543Enjoy never knowing how to fight faggot.
>>76353610>>76353644neither of you faggots know how to fight lol
You've described the perfect scenario for learning self defense. That's very similar to what my first MMA gym was like; hard sparring every Sunday, lighter sparring throughout the week. "God gave us Sundays off so we could have fistfights." You'll learn good self defense skills and build the correct strength for it because people will be actively trying to knock you out, but you won't be in much real danger. The most important thing in a fight is not strength or technique or even cardio, it's being able to not bitch out when the bombs start dropping (with cardio and technique being tied for a VERY close second). There are almost no opportunities left in the world that give you the emotional and mental pressure of a dickhead trying to knock you out on hard sparring day, and that is what you need more than anything else. Go back to that gym, anon
>>76353672it sounds like you're the one who can't fight lmao
>n-no, you NEED to do tippy-tap punches! never hard STOP STOPPIT!>you're going to hurt someone!>...what do you mean, "that's the idea?"You "train" at a gym that cares exclusively about making money off nerds with a chip on their shoulder. You will have your worldview corrected if you ever fight.
>>76355231what's it like living in such a shitty neighborhood that you worry about fighting people regularly.
>>76356324>what's it like [things nobody said]Condescension only works if you don't already look like a faggot, faggot. You're literally crying (the way you probably do in IRL sparring) because some people train hard. Nobody said anything about having to do it regularly, but your clown-ass replies tell me you can't do it at all lmao
How long do I have to do boxing before I can kill women with a single punch?
