I want to start boxing.?

Question

Hey, i want to start boxing. I'm 14 (15 in a week)

I am 6 foot 1 and 227 pounds. i could stand to get in a bit better shape but when im skinny i should be around 200-210ish. but when i bulk up i will probly go back into the 220's range.

I have alot of natural muscle, its how im built i think, large frame.

So, how do i start boxing? its not realy like football is just go for the school team and your in. I'm confused as to where to start? can anyone tell me how to start and what weight class i would be in and so on.

Thanks.

Answer 2

you should hit up your local gym to see if they are offering any classes to start. A trainer is also helpful in developing stances and correct punching technique.

Buy some of the equipment(bag, gloves, speed bag, jump rope) to start getting into shape.

Booxing is a extremely tiring sport and you need to build on your stamina to last in the ring..

Jumprope like crazy to tone your body, rid body fat, and increaae your foot speed and stamina,

Good Luck

yea, u need to start attending a local gym... "boxers are made in the gym"  u can learn alot from those who have learned before... but yea maybe just invest in a jump rope, but u shouldn't have to buy gloves or a bag or nothin... that should all be there for u at the gym.  but run run run... sososo true, ud be supprised how tired u get after even one round of top speed boxing.... it's crazy...

and yea u'd be a heavy weight.  If u decide to compete, u'll have to  get registered w/ the USBA, which is either 25$ or 50$ for a year, which isn't bad... then u can box at shows and turnaments like the golden gloves ^^.... but yea ur gym and hook u up w/ all that info... gl, and good sport choice!  have fun God Bless...
