How do girls fare in a boxing club?

Question

spotlight: clearly the question is, if you don't know why i'd want to learn to punch someone, why on earth are you answering questions in the boxing section? Lol!

Answer 1

so wut?... go ahead n join

Answer 2

Don't let it stand in your way! But i'm not sure what the rules are about male and females sparring so that might be a bit hard for you to practise

Answer 3

Girls fare very well.  When I started out, I was the only girl in my club for along time.  Now there are only two of us that come to the club consistently.  Other girls show up from time to time.  It shouldn't stand in your way.  A good coach will never spar you against someone that can really hurt you.  Go ahead and join the club.  It's fun and wonderful exercise and you will learn how to defend yourself.

Answer 4

i hope you kick some butt

Answer 5

Out here in California, women in the sport of boxing or just in the gym in general, is no big deal whatsoever. If anything they are an inspiration to other women and a motivation to men and women alike!  If you really have to question yourself about being in boxing gym when the sport is already predominantly men, you're probably not ready yet..

  Men sparr with women as much as women sparr with other women.. It really just depends on the supply and demand and what type of preparation a fighter is looking for. We've had world-champion women fighters in our gym and trust me, they get their due respect....in and outside the gym.. So go get yours too!

Answer 6

you will do as well as you want to do. train hard and you will get good. make sure that this gym has a good trainer. there are some boxing gyms that will just throw you into the ring with someone who will beat you just to see where your starting skill level is at. make sure that this gym isn't like that. in short you just need to talk with the trainer before you go. if you find that this is a good place to train then go for it and work hard. nothing will replace hard work.

Answer 7

If you can hold your own in the ring - any decent boxing club won't give a d**n about your gender... just about your skill in the ring.

You might get a bit of harassment for a little bit - but if you can show that you're not looking for any sort of preferential treatment and aren't going to look for any favors (just because you're a girl) and you can throw down with the best of 'em (and get back up if you take a hit) ... they'll come to respect you for your skills.

Since there's no "restriction" on gender in that boxing club... I don't see why you shouldn't join.

Answer 8

Join the club of your choice. Start with this club and you will soon hear about any Boxing clubs for women. Women are welcomed into most male domains these days.
