Sparring

[JSKBELGIUM]

Ok, thank you

[SugarBoxing]

try to spar with lighter guys, just work on defense and movements. Once you feel comfortable - move on fighting your weight class

Focus on a natural progression. This is way to early to spar. You will develop panic habits instead of focusing on technique.

This would be my suggestion. One step at a time, don't move foward until you have completed the step. This can take months if done correctly. I have guys work on stance and footwork for days before throwing a punch. If your feet aren't right how can you expect your punches to be? if your punches aren't right how can your combinations be?? etc etc..

1. Stance
2. Footwork
3. Jab/Cross/Hook/Uppercut - Learn one punch at time - Don't rush yourself
4. Combinations
5. Defense - Range/Block/Parry/Slip - For each punch and combinations - again be patient.
6. Some organized catch and throw
7. Light Sparring
8. Maybe then you'll be ready to go full speed.

Thank you for your help everyone, referring to the stance part, I'm now boxing with left side ahead, but I feel more comfortable when right side is at front. Does that mean I'm a lefty or is it otherwise?
Questions might not be the smartes ones, but I want to use full capability for the sport

It's a good question.

It's fairly normal when beginning to feel more comfortable with your dominant hand forward. In this case assuming you are right handed. But you should probably resist that and get used to having your left as the lead. It'll take time to get comfortable with it, but it will happen. Not only is it about a set up of power and balance, it also has to do with dominant eye function which often goes along with dominant hand. Reverse all of that if you are naturally left handed.

Hello, first of all thank you for your good advice, and I understand what your explaining me, but I forgot to mention that it's not my arm that's more comfortable this, it's mostly my feet, or my stance (naming it correctly). When I step in to give a front jab it feels more comfortable and I'm much quicker, secondly is my left hand (wich is at back then), is more powerfull as I feel it.
Not trying to disagree with you or something, I would just like to hear your opinion on that

I understand you perfectly, Jorn. Your whole entire body feels like it is backwards, especially your feet and stance when you begin. Almost everyone starts out like this. Are you normally right handed? The hand you write words with and do most things with?
