We were told to get into our boxing high guard with our 12oz gloves touching the sides of our head. She then instructed us to take turns throwing 10 alternating hooks at each other's guard (3 sets in total) at full force while yelling at us to swing harder. We're not supposed to move at all and instead just sit there in the turtle position, maintaining eye contact and head position until it's our turn to be the attacker. We had no headgear either. Does it seem like a reasonable drill?

Hey y’all, I need some advice.

Growing up, my whole family was really athletic—except me. I was always just very strong. I’m 5’5” and 227 pounds. Yeah, I know I’m fat. I’m big, but most people don’t think I weigh that much when they see me.

I grew up watching my uncle fight—he did jiu-jitsu and boxing, and I think he even fought in the UFC once or twice (not totally sure how that works). Over the years, my brother and I have gotten more and more interested in fighting and watching it. My brother is 6’7”, 300 lbs, and he’s been trying to train on his own.

I’m 25 F ,turning 26 next Friday. I know I need to lose a lot of weight and build muscle, and honestly, learn everything from the ground up.

So I guess my question is…. is it even possible for me at this point? I’m not trying to go pro, I know that’s probably not realistic at my age—but I’d love to be able to actually fight in some capacity, wherever I could.

Growing up, people always pointed out how strong I was. I’ve never lost a fight—I’ve definitely taken some hits, but I’ve always held my own. I’m not very fast, but I hit hard and I’m good at grappling.

Is it even worth it for me to try? Or should I just do it for the experience? I’m open to other suggestions

As a beginner, this has been a total game-changer for me. In a group setting, there’s rarely time to dig into the 'why' behind every move, but this approach gives me exactly that depth. It has helped me see the road to mastering the basics and discover which style suits me best. My understanding of fighting has taken a massive leap forward—I highly recommend this to anyone who wants to truly understand the sport, not just mimic the motions.

Simple things like pressure , why sometimes a left works better than a right … and realizing with my 87 kg I should not try to be a feather weight fighter 🤣

Do other people also think that those fights don't make any sense because they are so one sided? What is One thinking?

Hey guys, what do you think about this one? Let me know!

I'm training like for 7 months, 5 days a week, and I don't see progress, today I had my first sparring, the other guy has same age, same size, and she kicked my ass, I eated like 20 hands, it supposed to be "light sparring", and that mf was throwing like really punches, idk what happens, I don't have strength on my jab, neither my straight punches, I only have it sometimes in the cross, idk what can i do, literally a guy started almost a week and has better boxing than me, I can punch hard in the bag, I can shadow boxing fine in home but when I work out, all is gone..

all advice are welcome
