Answer 1

If you're smart, don't start. If you aren't, then go for it. Only because multiple head shots really takes a toll on your brain. Only a small handful of boxers ended their careers with brains in tact.

Take a punch for yourself, then see if you are ready. Take it straight to the face. Get some defense, and offense.

If you need to think for too long its not for you.

You can be taught boxing skills but you cant be taught courage or heart or desire.

You should seriously consider learning EVERYTHING you can about Parkinson's Disease while you still have an intact brain.

Seriously.

Cause of Parkinson Disease

Although Parkinson’s disease can occur from viral infections or exposure to environmental toxins.....  

     ....People who sustain substantial head injuries face an increased risk of developing Parkinson’s disease years later. This has been shown in more than one study, therefore, it is safe to assume that head injury, such as in boxing, is a cause of Parkinson's disease.

Answer 12

Yes, boxing is a very dangerous sport.  It is also a great way to condition the body and discipline yourself.  You don't have to step into the middle of the ring right away and start taking blows to the head.  Just learn the basics to start.  Hitting the speed ball and heavy bag.  Learn some footwork and movement.  Then, and only if you're 100% ready and willing, you can step in and try sparring a little.  I did it for a while and I loved it.  I've never been in better shape then during the two years I spent traing in a boxing gym.  Good luck champ.
