    The psychology of a boxer doesnt have any hard and fast rules.
    Some guys need <"Im your daddy,Ill take care of,dont worry about a thing" some need "If I see you do that one more time,Im kicking your ass myself"
    Eventually the goal is to reach the same place, but everyone is different.
    out of intrest which is your favourite to teach ?

    Kind of hard to say.
    The hard as nails one take less supervision so their easier, but by the time youve babied the need coaxing type to getting ready they sort of become like your kid.

    More or less, the hard as nails ones are great, because you can almost slum as a trainer,just point them in the right direction and fire them.
    The ones you baby, you develop an emotional connection with, so when they do well its like watching your kid taking their first steps.
    For sanitys sake you really want both,one you can just point and say, "Go" without checking more then over your shoulder, so you can take care of the other one. I mean you still have to monitor the hard as nails types so they dont develop bad technique, but you dont have to worry so much about their psychie, just bark quick and theyll do it

    Its no harm getting guys in to spar early on as long as you make sure they are not gonna get hurt, you have to feel new guys out so many think it will be easy so its best to get them to realise its not and if they continue generally they end up as decent fighters.
    Its also good for confidence in the early stages as long as you make sure they are safe and dont get battered they feel good when they leave the ring and gradually step up the competion as they improve
    The more a fighter is in the ring the more comforatable he will be when he is competing
    I dont agree with the method used by your trainer it makes younger or inexpierenced fighters afraid to throw punches for fear of a beating.
    I focus on getting younger guys comfortable in the ring, keeping there hands up, not looking away from the target, full extension on the punches, good footwork and so on once they gain a good shape in the ring grow in confidence then we can get down to hard sparring

    doesn't really matter WHEN you first spar, as long as the guy in the ring with you is in there to HELP you....which basically means going easy on you so you learn something and enjoy yourself.

    With that said, I went in after about 2 months (after getting the basics down via bag and mitts), and every time thereafter I made sure to let the guy I was going in with know what I expected. ie, to work TOGETHER, not against each other.

    Absolutly sparring is about learning it should be competative but no one should be getting hurt in the early stages.Normally in my gym expierenced guys spar the new lads because they can handle them easy without hurting them and can give them advice as they spar i think this is a good way

    i was born into fire, a mouth piece some gloves and that was it...i got hit hard it hurt it pissed me off i hit back. i learned very little, except that i am blessed with a hard head, a decent chin and much stupidity... you should take time to learn balance, move the feet (this needs to be first imho) and then how to hit, don't worry about how cool it looks to hold your hands on your waist and slip punches, keep a good conventional guard. also spend 5 min a day slipping left and right and bobing and weaving,add that altogeher and then add someone throwing at you to give you a more alive feel. practice all your skills in an ALIVE manner as you will not be doing them statically in the ring, but also work into sparring. it is to learn not just get beat on or beat on someone.work your skills in a progressively harder traing environment, do wall drills, hit the trainer while he only defends, work only your defense, spar ligthly and in the manner of Bruce Lee's brother..SLOW LEE... yes slow work timing then get fast or faster... and always work fundamentals of hitting, balance and movement.
