Also when he spars make him take fish oil before and after. it has been proven to help reduce accumulation of beta amyloid plaques which cause cognitive issues like Mohammed Ali had (very sever case). ESPECIALLY with a developing brain. I limited my son sparring to once every month or two (unless it was no head contact sparring) and I made him take fish oil daily and doubled the dose on sparring days.
What brand of gear did you buy him? Wraps, gloves, boots?
man, maintaining the amount of food a do now for bodybuilding with the cardio i do, their is no way i could add in boxing or muay thai daily. hell i probably couldnt even get by with grappling now. that and since i only have one shoulder and one fully functioning arm, it would def be a no go. i do still get amped watching and remembering haha.
i didnt know that about the fish oil. we will have to get him in on that. as for the sparing he has only been training for a few weeks now and only spared once. the other kid was a lot bigger and more experienced so the coach only allowed him to defend for the first round and left hand body shots for the second. their is another kid in the class that does bjj and mt as well that is his age and size but he has been doing the other classes more frequently. so that would be more balanced for him.
we just got him starter stuff for now. ring side or ring master was the brand of wraps and gloves and asics for his shoes. we will upgrade once he is a little further into the sport. we may start rotating him into other disciplines as he gets better at boxing.
