Thread: beginer09 need help advice on everything pls

Hi im a long visitor guest in this forum downloading some vidz.

Im just start boxing 3days and im not really good but i find it fun.

i hope there people who are kind enough to spend time helping me on advice and tips on everything about boxing.

For now i have no idea i just get my idea in watching our boxer pacman train on the video.

I started 3days ago and what i do usually.

I jog in the garage about 10mins

then do i skip ropes for warm up

then bob and weave and shadow box

then hit the punching bag

then do some situps until i get kinda tired

all i have now is some gloves and punching bag im looking for a boxing gym in my area but i can't find any.

......i want to jog outside but i don't like because im afraid some of my friends will see me and tease that im a wannabe boxer.

I think if you wear normal running clothes your friends won't know what you are training for and if they laugh it's their problem not yours.

I think in the garage it is probably a hard floor. Running on a hard floor is very bad for you. Run outside on grass or a soft surface and it will be much better for you!

yea in the past i use to jog with my friend because some of my friends here we play bastketball in highschool together, but now in college they know im no longer an athlete so they start wondering what im doing it for and maybe make fun of me im being a wannabe athlete when im no longer one.

ok 6th day now at boxing gym and my hands are kind of hurting on and off and my wrist also. On the 4th day I cant throw power on my punches when hitting the mits because my hands hurt.

Is it normal? here is what we do daily

Stretching
Jog 10mins
Skip rope
Heavy Bag
Mitts & movment
Speed Bag
Doube end bag
Crunches

thats all sometimes i want to go on but i can't because my hands hurt and wrist.

I never did anything since i enter college for 4years except class and sit on my computer no exericse or anything, maybe this why is my hands are so weak.

Will it strengthen in time if i just keep on boxing? Or is there some way to strengthen more effecitively.

NO it is NOT normal.

This is happening because you are hitting the bag incorrectly ad it is dangerous, Also you may need to improve you method of putting on hand wraps and get some more padded - perhaps 10 or 12 ounce gloves.

Don't just keep boxing through it and if possible get some coaching. Even coaching at a kickboxing gym is likely to be better than nothing. You sometimes find boxing coaches operate out of the same places anyway.

Don't be afraid to go run in the mornings. There's no such thing as a "wannabe athlete". If anyone asks you why you're jogging, you can tell them that you want to get in better shape.

Is this a real boxing gym that you're going to? Is there anyone there that can give you proper instruction? I'm with Sharla on this, bad hands usually means you're hitting wrong, or that your hands don't have enough protection. Perhaps the heavy bag your hitting is too hard (i.e. filled with sand) which could be hard on your hands and wrists.

When I was in the Philippines I had a punching bag filled with ipa (rice husks). Even when it got compacted inside the bag, it was never too hard to hit, and my hands thanked me for it.

I recommend that you use a good pair of boxing gloves, like Sharla said, and get yourself some long bandages to protect your hands. Do a search on the internet, and type in "how to wrap hands for boxing".

yeah i tried changing the angle of how i hit and i notice i was hitting with my fingers im trying to adjust hitting with my knuckles and it lessened.
