If you're actually boxing, prepared to get your ass kicked. If not just relax, most martial arts guys are pretty chill.

Don't try to not look like a retard. Do what you're told to do to the best of your abilities. Ask questions. Don't push yourself too hard the first time around as far as the physical training goes, no one wants you throwing up because you tried skipping rope for too long or something like that.

You might feel stupid when you're asked to practice some stuff in front of a mirror. Somebody will most likely correcting minute details with every jab you throw or even with how you're holding your guard up. Just soak it up and remember that the insecurity is in your head, we all had no clue when we first stepped into a boxing gym.

Also, a single round of hitting a bag is tiring. Hitting it wrong can hurt your hand, your wrist etc. Pace yourself and use the bag to practice your technique, the time to power strike the fuck out of something will come in time, when you actually know how to throw a punch.

you're there to learn, no one will judge you for being a begginner

I've been out for the last two years. Since when did /fit/ anons became so nice?

There are some niches within /fit/ that are pure brolove, you just have to find them.

And OP is just nervous about trying something new, we've all been there and most likely will eventually be there again. He's gonna make it and so are we.

nothing changed, it's just normal threads that draw out normal functioning human beings ready to help are rare, it's flooded with autist teenagers whose only goal is to penetrate good looking girls without manners and quality beyond their aforementioned looks...whew.

Just try your best and dont be a gym bro. You have no idea how little it matters to do boxing routines or fighting as just "a guy".

I kind of feel thats the ultimate overcompensation if you're the guy shadow boxing or doing sparring IN THE AB AREA/FREE WEIGHTS.

I was about to post something mean is that weird.

The best way to do things for the first time is to not pretend you're anything like a novice and take all advice offered. Just admit you're nervous and new and people will be happy to help you. If you pretend you know shit you don't, you'll just dig a hole for yourself and that's how you'll look like a retard.

no one notices or cares about you bro, loose the ego. I used to have your mindset, i was afraid to arrive to areas full of men like gym, mma etc but realized people lead their own lives and dont care about you, just like you dont care about that other guy.
