how to train without sparring?
I'm 15 (about to be 16) and just started sparring, I'm moving to somewhere where there's no boxing gym within like an hours drive. All they've got is this damn rickety old "kung fu" gym, but they got like heavy bag type things and stuff that they said I can come and use, but there is NO ONE TO SPAR! I love boxing, but I have no options! Is there anything that can replace sparring?

nothing that will aid your timing like sparring.
you could try the kung fu place, maybe some of the guys there would like to spar IF you set sensible ground rules LIGHT SPARRING- not trying to kill each other, they might want to join in, other than that you will have to travel I wouldn't advise backyard scraps, it will bring down your technique.

the only way to learn sumat is by practise and repition so u have to spar
Re: how to train without sparring?
go and spar in the kung fu gym
some of them are bound to want to fight somone, but i think kung fu has a problem with it.
youuse boxing, they use kung fu
i dont know what your worried about anyway, if you got no gym, then you got no competitions, why be a boxer?
you might aswell try the kung fu man!

Re: how to train without sparring?
Do lots of bagwork and shadowboxing. You can increase your reflexes by throwing a ball up against a house and catching it when it bounches back off.
