Boxing humbles you. What are the things that anyone is scared of ? Dying or being embarrassed. Boxing has that fear of dying although with a little of rules and safety precautions, but it is there. Getting knocked out flat in front of everyone is one of most embarrassing things that one may have to face. So boxing humbles you.

The boxing gym I went to had had a 10x more respectful environment than any fitness gym I've been to. Maybe it was just the coach, maybe not.

Boxing gyms are also a more positive and supportive environment. I've never felt like anyone there didn't want to help me better myself. And you're right, there's no unchecked egos in a boxing club. Not for long, anyway.

Brilliant way to describe the two man,a dog and a wolf,you can be fit but then there is fighting fit two totally different ball games

Boxing is just a way better gym than a regular gym and that’s the truth

Most of these weight lifters look like Tarzan but fight like Jane

do a video on what amateur boxers should be doing if they trynna go pro inna future

Yo much support and respect 2 u seems like a legit dude

What’s up coach v thanks for these vids your helping me a lot with my boxing

100% agree with this. I lifted weights for 7 years at a fitness gym. And while i did enjoy it, there came a point where the atmosphere and the people seemed pretty vain. There was no real sense of community either. I met some cool people but mostly i was on my own with my workouts. And even I'll admit that i most certainly had an ego by the end of it. When i joined a boxing gym though it was like a whole new world! Just the sense of community and comradery alone made me instantly fall in love. It was what I'd been missing. And yeah like coach V said. You can't really front in a fight. It's just so honest. It makes me really grateful that i joined this sport.

Agree 100%. I'm no boxing trainer but I have a few years of boxing...I trained my friend (who is a gym rat) to pick shots and counter and how to jab. because he was interested in boxing. He was at the gym (pf) and some meathead guy walked up essentially gave him a bunch of shi* for taking a picture of himself. They had some words, and then went outside 🙄 anyways my boy slipped and landed a counter and that was the it. No ko, just two men respectfully leaving each other alone. Do you have any advice for fighters that want to train for a living/own a boxing gym??

You got a new subscriber bros🔥💯

Subscribed, coach.

Great video Coach, question: I'm just starting boxing and I don't intend to fight professionally, but I feel every man should know how to use his hands and not be afraid to get hit. Boxing seems challenging but also fun. I just want to be competent with my hands in case I have to use them, and to give myself a healthy routine to get out of my head and into my body. Is this the wrong attitude to come to boxing? I want to build mental toughness and I feel boxing is a great way to do that. I would like to spar, and have some amateur fights down the line but it kinda sounds like you're saying if you're not intending to fight amateur or pro you shouldn't box at all. I'm just wondering what your take is on someone coming to boxing from my perspective, I'm looking at it from the stance of becoming more mentally tough, and building up self defense skills. Thanks!

In my place their is a boxing gym but they only train professional or real fighters and you can not just join in you have to be recommended and I really wanna learn true boxing that's why I am force in joining the fitness boxing where I felt disappointed because their is no real competitiveness what can you advised on that Coach

Coach V im a bodybuilder wanna be fighter im gonna work towards it. Thanks for the advice.

Great content

Not many real boxing gyms where I’m located mostly fitness it’s a shame

Awesome!

I agree with your video. For the most part, its an athlete working out vs sculpting. Athleticism is the gap.

Ayee chill coach v im tryna impress the ladies haha..

fax bro sometimes i honestly don’t even like going to the fitness gym because of the toxic culture there

Hi coach, I don't know if you will see this comment or not but I have a question. Does it cost money to join a boxing gym? Because I developed a very high interest for the sport and want to see if I'll be any good at it, but the problem is that I'm a bit on the broke side at the moment, ok not a bit, I'm on the VERY broke side right now, and if I do have to pay a fee up front, what other advice do you have for me to pursue this interest that I've acquired?

Amazing!! 😊

Facts homie

Big up hustler 💪

For someone who wants to get into boxing for health but has zero athletic background would you suggest that person start in a regular gym then work into a boxing gym? Or go straight into a boxing gym?

💯🔥

Aesthetic enhancement. 😂

I’m in Ireland and gyms are still closed. Any tips for starting to box at home using shadow boxing or using a heavy bag?

What’s the background music

Boxing gyms are part of the culture

50 cent box too dude. Weight classes mean something too.

1:08 Amen lol

The difference is one is for feeling good and looking good and the other one is for learning how to stand up again after being down. I mean boxing isnt gonna offer you much more then the gym if you dont become pro there are disciplined people in both gyms.

This facts right here. When you gonna make that tik tok coach?

Where can I see ya fights fam?

I'm very skinny, can i join boxing for overall fitness, body growth and self defence?

#nodaysoff

Good ass video

I have to disagree with you on that. I don't go to the gym purely for aesthetic reasons. I go to the gym because 1. I want to be a human cheat code. Size, strength, stamina, speed, and conditioning. 2. I train because I am a strength addict and a human forklift 3. I train because I love the high that I get. The endorphins that are released. 4. I train because I love the fact that I can literally re-engineer my body with the right regiment and enough calories 5. I train because I want to be an elite physical specimen on multiple levels. Think NFL players going to the NFL combine. Those guys are specimen 6. I train because it is an amazing stress reliever and one of the most underutilized antidepressants. It is how I physically manifest negative energy in a productive manner. 7. I train because I love seeing the returns. Day in and day out, I'm getting bigger, stronger, faster, building more endurance, etc. 8. I train because being fit can save you in an emergency situation. This is something that I definitely realized when I was in the US Army. 9. I love training because I've been through a lot in my life and I've always had a chip on my shoulder. Fitness served as an avenue for me to deal with that. With that being said, not everyone is in the gym for aesthetic reasons or to attract women. Personally, I do like the attention that I may get from women, but I do it purely for me. I have had to cut off women because they got in the way of my fitness.

im 14 and just wondering what should i start doing to get into boxing?

Are there lots of moms>>fitness gym Does it smell like the inside of a sock>> boxing gym

I wanna do weights in a boxing gym because most of them would be too busy doing heavy bags, sparring, jump ropes, speed bags and etc. In a fitness gym someone is always hogging the weights you can't get to them for hopes sake. And I wanna be in a fitness gym after I learn boxing and shadowbox there. Imma Pacquiao the crap out of you. Trolling XD

Dont know coach V there are some cool people in the fitness gym as well. I aint talking about pure bodybuilders, people like myself who work out for strength for powerlifting or olympic weightlifting. They cant fight, yes, but some are monster athletes. Before i started mma i worked out for strength and still do, and it was also very enjoyable. Strength also helps is combat sports. I would advice anyone to do deadlifts squats and overhead press. Maybe you were a bit biased in this one. Just my 2 cents.

How do you suggest someone changes that mindset?

Am I the only one who thinks he looks like zach lavine

This comment section shows how toxic combat figters can be towards weight lifters...both require discipline and dedication..I have respect for both

I don’t agree on that. In fitness gyms there are many different athletes training for a sport Football players, basketball, soccer, and bodybuilding. From my experience everybody minds they business in those gyms. I didn’t like the weird attention when I had to use the sauna to cut and shadow box and skip rope then ppl lookin at me sizing me up. But it happens anywhere when people hear that I box and ppl always get insecure and try you. It’s a responsibility to stop that from going to hands outside of a match. I’ve been stabbed twice, friends shot and killed. Hands or no hands any moment somebody has your card. One of my matches my opponent died in the second round. Not on any gangster shit, boxing wears your body down, unchecked concussions do most fighters in. RIP Steven Copeland. Boxing gyms are super ego driven with niggas believe they own hype..

train your entire life so you can think of yourself as the best? sounds like more ego to me. desire and fear are the two motivating factors of the unconscious mind. it is desire that keeps you chasing. as long as you chase, mentally you are discontent. It is a mind fuck. the grass is green right where you are. enjoy life, you are life, there is only one life connected by the elements

boxers definitely got egos bro 😂 even more than fitness gym meat heads. fighting isnt everything when you pull up on someone w a gun or knife.

meat heads can't run

Boxing gyms are on a higher level of discipline and the ppl are on a mission to BE the best not just LOOK the best!!
