Then 15 minutes into the fitness, vomitting, looking like ghosts and never seeing them again. A quality coach will take you through the basics for ages, this shit needs to be automatic, because when you do start sparring you don't have time to think, you have to react thats it. Youngblood on here is a great boxer, his first 6 months all his trainer taught him was the jab and footwork.

You will get used to doing that everyday because that is the staple equipment of a boxer, I'm not really sure what else your expecting? I'm sure if your a member you can stay for longer than the dedicated time for the class?
Well said....If you are not in shape and do not know the basics you are not going to do anything productive....

People do not realize exactly how long 3 minutes is to fight unless you are in the ring...It can feel like an hour and most guys have to do it 101 rounds...this is why we see even world class fighters gas out in bouts....Like Salty said above you get these guys coming in like they are Rocky and 10 minutes later they are puking........

The basics and some stamina are the first issues to address...after tyhat worry about training to be the champ....

Any boxing gym that throws you in the ring to spar within the first 2 weeks is one I would avoid
