My partner however was a complete know it all, who just so happens to have just started boxing a few weeks ago. So I'm working on my drills and every time I go to bob the hook he angles it downwards last minute and hits my head. Every time I go to slip a jab or cross he punches where my head is moving. And when I'm working on parrying he doubles up his punches everytime. Not too mention he holds his hooks so far out that I end up throwing a cross and his uppercuts are damn near up to his forehead. Oh and to top it, every time he hits me he says " gotta be quicker or else their going to tag you everytime".

Reminds me of a guy who was completley new too the basketball team back in highschool, couldnt play for shit but kept giving everyone else advice on being "1 second faster than the other guy", im pretty sure no one on the team liked that guy. That guy was me

People that stand somewhat sideways to you, stick an arm out completely straight, then move the pad up and down.
This has happened, I shit you not.

My most annoying moment was when my pad holder moved the pads up and away mid-kick and I broke my foot on the point of his elbow.

I refuse to work with guys that can't hold pads for me. (I'm a southpaw) I'd rather do hard bag workout or wait for my trainer.

I've done that. I had a hair line fracture though. very small but hurt like a bitch. Dr. said that can break it completely and put me in a cast or I can let it heal on it's own and be out of training for the same amount of time. I didn't want to look like a cripple going to a bar or have to explain shit over and over.

I hate it when people get scared and move pads... I once kicked a dude right in the knee because he wasn't the holding the pads correctly. Stupid dude

I did this, only I was the guy holding the pads. To be fair, the retard misjudged his distance but at the time he was a lot more experienced than me so I assumed it was my fault and felt like a twat.

Ive been doing boxing/training for a while now, and holding pads for south paws is still confusing @_@, especially when u have to jab to have them keep their hands up

When I hold pads for south paws I switch to southpaw stance. Feels pretty comfortable and it's a lot easier to hold IMO.
