    took up training and sparring again after doing nothing since i was a kid and broke my nose two weeks ago. I have gone back to the gym but obviously not back sparring.

    Just wondering how long i should take off before going back to sparring?

    I reckon its gonna seriously knock my confidence too.

    One of the guys in the gym reckons i am going to have constant problems with it going forward.

    Any tips?

    The worst thing you can do is go back sparring too soon, train yes but dont spar till it has healed completely.
    You will not have constant problems with it if it is allowed to heal properly, you will have problems if you go back sparring beforfe it is jealed properly.
    Broken nose is a commmon thing in boxing and even the best get them so no reason it should knock your comfidence.

    cheers, i will give it a while before i start back sparring as i said i already went back training. Getting mixed advice in the gym so said i would ask on here.

    as for the confidence , i guess i won't know until i step back in the ring. It took a a bit to do it in the first place after not boxing for nearly 10 years.
    I was going well with the training and sparring and holding my own but i got a right wallop and bust it up pretty good. didn't hit the deck or get knocked out but man did it bleed. I guess i was a bit embarrassed too.

    Happened me, and did knock my confidence for a while. Sparring too which was worse. Its been broken 3 times since, none in a ring, stupid things, bang of a football etc. Mine is still weak after 5 years and got a well placed jab the other night that was a sore one but it didn break thank god. It happens everyone, just take it easy for a while, and try not let it affect the confidence, your not the first one!

    Nothing to be ashamed about at all getting your nose broke.

    It will help you to improve you defence and you might be a little nervous for you first spar back but after a couple of spars you will be grand

    It's important your sparring guys similar in weight and experience otherwise it will be hard to build your confidence if your being beaten up everyday.

    i agree and it is most important that sparring is monitored by the trainer and no wars or liberty takers, sparring is for learning, you dont have to prove your self in sparring and that should be made clear in the club. i have seen too many brave trainers.
    The only time you shoud go that extra bit is in a real fight.
