anyway to get over being hit, and hitting people in sparing?

even if it doesnt hurt when i get hit im liked shocked for a second, for whatever reason.


and i cant bring myself to hit someone with anything more than like 20%...


any advice or just more sparing? thanks.

Well, it's sparring, innit? If you have a proper sparring partner, they SHOULDN'T be trying to ring your bell.

I mean, yeah; they should be going hard enough to keep you honest, but that should only be about 50%, maybe 75%, tops.

And on your end, you just gotta get used to it. Get used to learning *when* and *where* you're gonna take a punch. Distance and timing. IF you can land a shot without eating one, fantastic! Other times, you're gonna have to turtle up, or otherwise slip the jab to get your combo off.

I had problem with hitting other people. It all comes down to not trying to blow their headoff and accidents happens. Getting hit: just tell yourself it won't hurt (it doesn't really hurt imo, just really annoying). Also, you just get used to it.

you's a bitch

Spar more, spar harder, spar always.

also try not to get emotional about it or you're gonna wreck your sparring partner and probably pay for it from the sounds of it

lol

I was expecting this comment to be the very first response. Making it to #3 has restored some of my faith in this community. Not much, though.

focus more on defense, make 100 % of your focus to have a floyd mayweather defense and THEN youll feel comfortable to throw back

one little tweak I've noticed is not just keeping your mouth shut, but biting your mouth guard pretty hard ... not crazy though
