Answer 1

No  but I want to! hehe

Answer 2

I have not taken any formal lessons but I do it for a workout with friends. I have three sets of gloves. It is fun and a way to unload stress. It builds stamina and teaches you to defend yourself as well.

Answer 3

I have be training in both boxing and kick-boxing. right now I am in the best shape of my life. it started after I got the **** beat out of me when I had nothing to do and so I entered into an underground boxing match for money. left with $20 less, a headache, and a black eye. now that I have been training I would definitely be able to rip those same people to shreds. funny thing is now they know I'm learning how to fight they avoid me

Answer 4

In my case I just enjoyed the sport from an early age.  We used to spar with each other in the yard and sometimes in the gym whenever we could find the time.  I went to my local YMCA and began hitting the speed bag and doing boxing workouts like having someone throw the medicine ball into my stomach and roadwork.  Later in the Navy I used to go to the gym and spar with people quite a bit mostly just for the fun and the exercise of it.  At one time early on I considered becoming a fighter but went into other areas instead.  I still continue to keep up with boxing a lot and have a lot of respect for anyone that ever steps inside of a ring.

Answer 5

I have been in boxing for a while and I'm still in it, at the start your going to not be able to do what the others do (most) like skipping , cardio , sloppy punching , slow punches , no form.

After about 2 months you will be catching up and if your good enough you start sparring and that's when the fun happens until then you might be doing the same thing over and over.

But if your gonna join, don't join because you wanna be the bully because its noticeable when someone is like that go in there to be healthy and maybe make it somewhere.
