yeah, being in shape is the best way to become a better boxer
>why?
because when you're tired everything gets really sloppy and you won't be doing it "the right way"
also, don't overtrain, you'll know when you've done too much when you get sick, like a cold for no reason, you'll just start getting sick, although if you're just doing the boxing class this won't be a problem but as you get better you might want to stick around after or before class and get some rounds in or practice on the speed bag or run or just do general boxing shit

This guy is a retard, any decent gym won't let you spar for around 6 months, it's just what amateurs/amateur run gyms do that leads to people getting hurt

I come from a powerlifting background, have trained both karate and jiu-jutsu though. I'm by no means perfectly in shape, I'm packing a few extra pounds which I'm trying to lose. Thanks for the advice on overtraining, I'm thinking about cutting out my gym-work and keeping my cardio and now martial arts training as the core.

avoid dark arts body slams m8
Go to class, keep your hands up to your face, remember to breathe, listen to your coach
Do wrestling or BJJ instead because grapplers fuck strikers in the butthole all day everyday

Around here they used to beat the fucking shit out of you first trening
To get the pussies out

Fucked ear or fucked nose both look bad

That's just bad advice. Grapplers, also known as homosexuals, will never get close enough to a good striker to attempt there gay moves.

Wraps your wrists beginseng boxers always fuck up their wrists if they don't wrap up
Sorry for bad english
