As for the hitting, he hits me with the boxing gloves whenever I did something wrong.

Solar Plexus? And that was in my 3th training..

Yeah that isn't benefiting you at all. A person can give you a simple firm tap in the solar plexus "area below the rip cage in the middle" and you could lose your breathe "or your lunch :P". It serves no purpose doing that to someone learning. I'd suggest finding a new gym because that's not training you it's borderline assault. Learning boxing isn't always fun, but it should at least be enjoyable.

Go to a different gym to learn how to box...find a different trainer...your current trainer sounds like a loser... most trainers with never punch you to make you learn if your screwing up... I can understand yelling or raising his voice(most will demonstrate a punch)... hey just remember, a trainer is suppose to build your physical ability AND confidence aswell...Confidence is huge in boxing! students learn and have more interest in boxing if there having fun...it also helps to keep you motivated... your trainer sounds like he teaches with fear(bad quality in a trainer in my eyes) Cruiser

Your trainer is a shit head.

I've trained a few dudes in the basics, and the best way to learn is to teach it to be fun. That's how I was taught, and that's how I got into the sport as deep as I have. You progress. You certainly can't reach point B if you haven't gotten to point A.
