Everybody has that fear when they start out. Over time, you will get used to the punches. One of the only ways to get rid of the fear is to keep on fighting and it will go away.

That would actually be a pretty good idea. When I wanted to be able to move my back and dodge a lot of punches, I tied my hands behind my back and had someone fight me. It really works well on your defense if you really want to stop getting hit
You need a mouthpiece, and you gotta get hit... When you're thinking about attacking, do it. The more offenseive you're when you're starting, the the quicker you lose the fear of getting hit.

Getting hit doesn't hurt. And what does hurt you will get used to. Also when going to strike just think about how your gonna hurt the other guy and not worry about yourself. Those are my words of wisdom.
Getting hit in the nose and body can definitely hurt at times, although i feel no pain anywhere else

Yea but when you have sparring equipment on its hard to get caught flush in the nose so in that aspect it doesn't really hurt.

Hah guess your a mans man. The gym I did spar at wouldn't let us without a headgear on.
naa :laugh: I juat hate the things, like having blinkers on, it makes it harder to defend
maybe thats why ur scared. Because you spar without the headgear and it hurts more when you get hit. Even pro boxers spar with headgear. Sparring without headgear is like a pro fight, and ur obviously not ready to feel that level of pain yet.

I recommend sparring without headgear, it makes you tougher and forces you to get used to the punches. I have never sparred with headgear in my life, and I am hard to hurt unless you get me at the right spot.
Who said i was scared of getting hit, I spar and sometimes fight without a head guard, also i dont think you have fought a round in you're life, the level of pain is low its just the guts to let you're self test that and get hit.
Not exactly me at my best, but here is a clip of one of my fights not using headguards
