Heavy bag work

doesn't the gym have any kind of a cardio-kickboxing class?

[flipper5470]

Good thing about wraps is you can secure your wrist.  I have a timer .....kills to run two or three minute rounds and flip exercises every thirty seconds inside the round.  Like 1-2's on the bag with jumping jacks or bodyweight squats...do that with a bunch of different exercises and combinations and after 20 rounds or so...it's a pretty good workout

haha you are a fag ,  I knew it.

I plan on gettting a timer some thicker gloves and hand wraps. I want to get good and than join a kickboxing gym. I don't want to join a complete newb.

I don't know man, I'd rather join a boxing gym as a newb than throw power shots at a fitness center.

Agree.
Shit can be expensive though.

The fact that you blew me doesn't make me a fag..

We don't charge a dime in our gym but you have to fight otherwise we won't waste our time with you.

Well I'd consider myself a total beginner at boxing, regardless of the other style of training I've had (dont know how military training or very basic Pancration/kickboxing translate over to boxing), so I'd need a place to teach me everything.

I have next to NO knowledge about footwork, handspeed, proper throw teqnique, or proper boxing defense.
In a nutshell, I know nothing about boxing. The other stuff Ive dealt with basically was just "Throw punches and kicks, different ways to grapple, or find anything you can kill them with".

Yeah, but very few on this site can say they are professional boxers neither.

You're not too shabby there Mr. Che..

Makavelli, if you're truly serious, just ask Che.  The guy is a professional boxer with all the licenses and fights under his belt to boot.

You know I love you OMR  but I'm not a professional boxer ,never was ,I was nationally ranked  amateur  not a pro.

[Mr Nobody]

just wear multiple pairs of gardening gloves then put the real gloves over top of that bro

A tree and a bag and it pouring rain is all you need.

Outta curiousity, where is your gym located? (Not exact address, just state if you wouldnt mind).
Im kinda looking to pick up boxing as I have done some MMA and while it was interesting, I felt like I was getting fucked in their teaching standup, which is what I wanted to learn the whole time. It was all about grappling, with almost no emphasis on standup.

Dammit.
Too far from me.
Ill have to find one in Washington when I get back, which will be shitty.
You have any pointers on how to differentiate between a good boxing gym and a shitty one?

[Marty Champions]

have a look at some archived falcon youtubes for some "lightening fast punches"

If the boxing gym looks like planet fitness  and  you see chicks and old people training ,probably is a shitty boxing gym.
If the boxing gym looks like shit , smells like shit (sweat) and you mostly see  blacks  ,Mexicans and two white guys training, probably is a good boxing gym.

there's a mom joke in here somewhere

Ironically, I was kinda thinking that same thing myself.

It also seemed liked the better ones you listed, were cheaper as well. Lulz.

Yea the best one is the heavy bag on the tree outside hitting some hooks and upper cuts no one could withstand that shit, not even Randall Tex Cobb.
