Intimidating trainer

yea man, this isn't the movies. Time to move onto another gym that is a bit more productive instead of counter productive.

Thanks for the quick response.

I think I will do that, I just can't enjoy boxing with him as a trainer. >.<

Ya dude we love our sport and all but are not without our idiot trainers, coaches, other boxers etc. Is an unfortunate side effect of being part of the human race. If there are no other boxing gyms to just switch to, maybe you should speak with him regarding it? If you haven't already? I have come to realize in my time online and hearing a lot of questions, that people don't always bring issues as such to their trainers, and it sometimes bites them in the butt.

A trainer has to be tough with you from time to time, but it's got to be for the right reasons and he has to correct you at the right time. You aren't some street cur there for him to kick just to make you mean....boxing is about learning, if you're not learning either he's not teaching or you're not paying attention.

Trainers are supposed to protect you and teach you...nobody should have to suffer an abusive trainer

bad times! i dont think a trainer should ever punch a student...if they need to get stern then harsh training is the way.
one of my mates knocked someone out too quickly in an amatuer bout once. he was meant to be using him as real practice and making it last a few rounds but he just dived in. he had to do his next training session on his tip toes. if his heels touched the floor (there was chalk all over the floor so you would be able to tell) he had to box a round with the trainer who wouldnt hold back.
he did the session on his toes and later found out (when he finished with the gym) that there was no way his trainer would have ever boxed a round with him.
he learned from it though...

A trainer should never do that, end of , you can allow for a certain amount of agression ,shouting and frustration etc but never hitting a student of any age.

Find a new place, meet with the trainers tell them you are dedicated and will work hard but explain why you need to move and guage their reaction.

Don't let a jerk like this stop you from continuing with your ambitions, hang in there buddy.
