I am planning to start practising boxing but i am concerned about the getting punched in the face thing. Can someone explain me real quick what the first few months of lessons are like?|||Amateur Boxing usually requires foam helmets which actually protect the face and head. If you are sparring with someone you really need to wear it. But if you are a beginner you first start with a punching bag and practice jabs and straight punches. It depends on the level of training you are in, for novice or beginners usually you really wont get hit in the face or head depending on your trainer.
For intermediate level hooks and uppercuts are practiced with a sparring partner which may require a really good trainer for this matter. I suggest that you start with practicing the fundamentals of boxing which include footwork and strength training. If you really don't want to get punched in the face or head immediately try sparring with a good trainer and let him/her know your concern.
I hope this helps out.|||well to begin with you wont be made to spar with other people, you will be doing the training like all the other boxers.
Depending on the coach and how well you are doing your coach may put you in to spar after a few weeks/months. But if you don't feel ready then tell your coach, don't be pressured into it. But after a while you may want to get in it will help you improve LOADS i always found i learnt things quicker when i could get into the ring and put them into practise seeing where to improve etc.
Hope that helped.|||you won't get punched in the face unless you choose to - full contact sparring is an option but you'd probably start off slow on bags and circuit training and such like.
once your confident enough you could think about starting to spar with other lads but like i said its all your choice. you wont be forced to do anything your not 100% sure of!|||Maybe you should try practicing running away from someone trying to punch you in the face first.
