Whats ur thoughts of this? Do coaches generally let you go into sparrin? because i have heard they only let you in if u are ready, but with the self believe i'am certainly ready
Experience is not experience. Your mates don't know what they are doing, so you aren't learning anything. If you are getting caught by friends who don't box, you are likely not ready to be sparring with amateurs. Go to an amateur club & let the coaches have a look at you. They have years of experience knowing what level you are at & how you can improve. Trust their opinion, they may put you in or they may not, but truthfully they will know what is best for you.
