Answer 1

you don't have to fight if you learn how to box. tell her that this is something that is really important to you. When i started boxing it helped me greatly in my life. Including motivating me to eat healthy foods to stay in shape, not to drink or smoke, and helped me stay focused on my life. boxing is a wonderful sport and it will put you in the best shape of your life.

Answer 3

Answer 4

Amatuer boxing uses headgear and also you wont be allowed an actual fight, only sparring, until they think you are capable. Everything is considered toward your safety aswell as your training. You could also mention that it is a great way to get your fitness levels up. Many people turn to boxing to get fit, healthy and strong. The fighting is just an extra that you recieve after very hard work and effort.
