My trainer is already about to have me sparring, we just have to get a good time for me to attend the new gym he wants me to spar at. Its the same one he did while he was pro. But I have only been with him for about two months, he says he knows im ready for it because when I came in he said he was amazingly impressed from what I had already learned, and when I told him I learned all of this on my own off the internet he was just so suprised. He just couldnt believe I had never had a lesson in my life and I took all the information from the internet and used it to get where I was. So yeah, just about two months.
