Anyone else here really into Sparring?

Doesn't matter if it's boxing or another martial art
It's something about fighting that's so therapeutic

Just got home from getting beat the fuck up by a pro at our gym, my head hurts but it was worth it

Want to start boxing, but I wear glasses, can't afford contacts or a proper boxing gym as well. Just moved to a new state and I start my new job tomorrow, do boxing gyms generally discourage people with glasses from sparring? My eye sight is bretty bad brehs

Boxing with glasses is pretty bad
Sure you can't afford some contacts?

You can get sports glasses, but getting punched in the face is going to break them

No. Go for it, see how it works out for you, I'm sure you'll like it.

>>34672695
I am pretty sure contacts can break, too, and having the pieces float around your eye sounds pretty bad. I'd recommend wearing no glasses/contacts at all.

Contacts would get knocked out of your eyes anyway. Maybe not all the time, but it'd happen sooner or later.

But regarding op, I spend any off time I can in my fight gym training and sparring. It's a great rush. Nothing better than getting my ass kicked by the older fighters and learning constantly.

Sparring with them feels like suicide, but I'm somehow able to stand my ground every time, even giving some solid hits back

I'll be able to after I start my job, then I'll wind up trying my hand at sparring. When do they usually put you in the ring with someone? How advanced should you be?

>>34672719
I'm more worried about my eye being swollen shut and not being able to remove the contact, or getting knocked out and having it roll back in my eye.

I like sparring but the people I spar with think it's a fight. I want to do more technical sparring so I could work on certain things.

Have you ever told them prior to sparring? You'd be surprised how receptive people are to the idea. A lot of the time it seems people don't even entertain the idea of not going out and treating it like a title shot, but if you say to them 'I wanna work on coming in on the jab without you opening up my face' quite often they'll actually say 'hmm, that's a good idea, I'll try that too'.

Middle grades are the worst. They feel like they've got something to prove but they've got none of the inhibitions of white belts.

Hmm, idk. I do know a blue belt that tries to make it a fucking deathmatch.

I just hate people who brag about tapping white belts. Theres always a cocky blue belt doing it.

Definitely. Sparring is the reason I train for boxing, I wanna get better at fighting. I can only go so many rounds on the heavy bag or pad work before I get bored to death. Necessary though.

Thinking of also joining a grappling martial arts class like Judo or wrestling, anyone know how difficult those two are to improve in? How many months before I can begin sparring?

Idk about judo but in wrestling you start within a few practices. Highly recommend, wrestling is alpha as fuck (literally based on dominance instead of damage potential)

Exactly, white belts might go all out from an effort perspective, trying to muscle through everything, but they'll usually gas quite quickly. And they don't know enough technique to be dangerous anyway.

Those guys who haven't grown out of it by the time they reach green/blue/purple/brown whatever are a nightmare. I can't even begin to recall the number of white belts who have been put off because they've been trampled by those cocky fucks. Hell, there's a black belt who frequents my gym who looses his temper whenever a white/yellow unintentionally hurts him.

Back when I first started I got frustrated and ended up quitting for a whule because of that shit. 18 year old purple belt was happy to go 100% on me and tap me without any advice and acting pissy too. Apparebtly he thought I was disrespectful for asking to start standing and telling him I was a wrestler (didnt mean it in a cocky way, just that I was more comfortable standing)

Fucks like that ruin gyms

Did Judo for some time, u can basically start sparring pretty soon, but need half a year/full year to become decent if u train 2 or 3 times a week. Personally i would recommend wrestling, bc of some shitty new rules there are alot of great techniques banned from judo.

Contacts don't just "break". For them to break while they're in your eye, something would have to literally slice your eye, and you'd probably be blinded in the process anyway, so a contact lens wouldn't matter that much at that point.
They can, however, be knocked out of your eye, which is much more likely and really fucking annoying if you use monthly contacts.

Just get one set of dailies. Only wear them on boxing days. Who cares then if one gets knocked out or whatever

>>34679327
Contacts can break unfortunately, and they can also be sliced by shit like sand floating around in the air. Once a little crack forms they are annoying as fuck to wear, plus it grows bigger until they break apart.
