the correct way to train a new boxer

[Von Milash]

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
