Well it's my first post in here so first i should let you know about me im an 18 year old looking to have my first fight within a few months, i've been training for about 7. But my trainer insists on the punches in bunches style, where it's pretty much rush in throw plenty of punches then retreat. This however doesn't seem natural at all for me and i much prefer slipping and fighting on the inside. The problem is everytime i practise bobbing and weaving at the gym he tells me to stop instead focus on parrying or pushing backwards to avoid the jab/ oncoming punches (he doesn't seem to teach any head movement). I'm not sure what i should do, keep practising my bob/weave at home on my heavy bag and try to do it in sparring or just listen to him after all he's been boxing for a lot longer than i have?

Thanks
