Is this normal for my first week of boxing, or do you think boxing isnt my thing?

it takes time here are some tips for beginners (which helped me LOADS)

1, relax!

2, learn to breathe properly (dont hold your breathe)

3, practice at home on a bag or something with the combos

4, keep your gloves on your face, actually touching. you'll put them back there after time.

5, enjoy yourself, if you loose interest you wont try as hard.

you will get better, like everything, it takes time, we was all beginners once!

Okay so i think you need to practice some more its normal for everyone i guess when they try something new when i first joined a gym i had no experience i had a heavy bag at home so i somewhat knew what i was doing i was wrong i was keeping my hands up and not breathing well so when i learned how and just focused more i ended up improving a lot i also ended up having good footwork because i would usually just stand there so give it some time everyone starts somewhere keep practicing youll get there

Your trainer will not put you in a fight if you are not ready. Don't worry go to practice you will learn. It's easy just takes time good luck

If you can't keep your hands up you have no chance of winning a fight and I think you just need more practice really.

k, i signed up for a year of boxing, and i keep forgetting to keep my hands up, keep forgetting to pivet, i suck at blocking, when my trainer says to throw a 1 2 or a 1 2 3 i get mixed up and throw the wrong combos, my hook is sloppy, my jabs and crosses are alright but like i said i keep forgetting, keep forgetting to constantly move around/footwork, dont see the shots comming, forget to block my ears when hes throwing hooks, so i just need to know, i really wanna be a good boxer im not even close to giving up im training everyday but based n what youve read will i eventually become a good boxer? my trainer says ill get there soon but im wondering if hes just saying that so i wont leave, i need your advise thanks
