neems 2,406 Posted March 14, 2015 Report Share Posted March 14, 2015 probably no right or wrong answer here just opinion. i was sparring a while ago,first time in about 4 years under boxing rules,about 2 years muay thai\full contact KB. anyway i got the better of the lad i was in with but it wasnt a war,the lad grabbed hold of me,coach said break,but instead of taking a full step back i just stepped back with my lead leg then stepped in with another shot,a bad habit from thai i think. as soon as i through the shot i knew it was wrong and would have apologised had the lad not put his hands down tried to square up to me gobbin off etc,the coach said stop and confirmed i needed to take a full step back. as the coach was explaining to me exactly what id done the lad was stood behind me and hit me with a right hook and we got back into it for a few seconds before we got split up,and both told to feck off. is it just me or is that a massive overreaction? in my mind it's not just overreacting it makes him a shithouse who needs to wait until my backs turned.

Flacko 1,742 Posted March 14, 2015 Report Share Posted March 14, 2015 Under boxing you step back no shots thrown till told to box on so you was wrong and he was also wrong but he was sly fecka for waiting till you had back turned but protect your self at all time even when told to break he didn't you couldn't atb Flacko 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
neems 2,406 Posted March 14, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2015 i thought break was step back and you can get stuck straight back in? i thought it was stop where you had to be told box again. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

gnasher16 30,025 Posted March 15, 2015 Report Share Posted March 15, 2015 (edited) By the sound of it he took a liberty....but so did you.........break should mean theres enough distance between you to reset for your next attack.......not continue the last one. Dont stress on it too much we all aim for gym etiquette but personally i dont think theres anything wrong with keeping it lively after all sparring can become monotonous sometimes.

mushroom 12,870 Posted March 15, 2015 Report Share Posted March 15, 2015 Technically you should step out of range and reset as gnash said. But to come at you from behind.. Cnut's trick Made a good mate turn his back on the sport and never speak to me again. whilst sparring muay thai one day, blood got up after he landed a full power shin into my thigh. I thought he'd feckin done me in and reacted with an elbow to the side of his head and that was that. Tbh he was a fanny for acting like a bitch. Things that happen during sparring should stay there Imo. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Plummerterrier 291 Posted March 15, 2015 Report Share Posted March 15, 2015 Break and take a step backvfor me. Id be pissed off if somebody done whatvyou done to me. Wouldn't react lik that though sounds like the guy your sparrin with shouldnt be in a ring if he can't behave . 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

*The*Field*Marshall* 674 Posted March 18, 2015 Report Share Posted March 18, 2015 Mayweather vs Ortiz comes to mind. . As soon as break is called, both should step back with a distance of at least 6ft put between them. . But like gnash says, a bit of needle can be beneficial! I've learned nothing from over courteous spars. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Zilverhaze 1,627 Posted March 19, 2015 Report Share Posted March 19, 2015 may weather ortiiz was nothing like that it was a fully leagal shot by mayweather after a blatent head but by ortiz maybe a bit under handed but leagal ,, you was having the better of the lad and you belted him on the break steped half back and stepped back in with a shot mistake maybe reaction what ever you call it but still wrong it not muay thai kick boking or what ever else you practise it was boxing.. get back in ther with him next time your ther and sort it out if he wants to Quote Link to post Share on other sites

delswal 3,819 Posted March 19, 2015 Report Share Posted March 19, 2015 So the guy gave you a sly cheeky one,and he's a shithouse so what? Get over it, he might have thought you were a shithouse for hitting him on the break, go shake hands with the man have another session and put it behind you, or the pair of you stay shithouses forever 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
