Gym etiquette

RingsideReady

Working with a partner

Take this slowly, stay balanced, and ask your coach when something feels unclear.

what to do

  • Introduce yourself and ask how long they have been training.
  • Match your pace to the less experienced person.
  • Check in once during the drill.

what not to do

  • Do not try to impress a partner with power.
  • Do not carry on if they look uncomfortable.

why it matters

Partner drills only work when both people feel safe. The more experienced person sets the tone.

quick rule

Match the newer person's pace, not your own.
