Information about starting boxing?

Question

I am a 23 year old guy and I have always been keen to try boxing, but for one reason or another I have never gotten round to it.

I am keen to join a local boxing club and give it a go, but I have a small dilemma. The job that I do is very client orientated and it would not be acceptable for me to be turning up for work every day with black eyes and broken noses after sparring in training etc.

Never having done any sparring before I was wondering if anyone could give me a bit of an insight as to whether this would be the case or not?

Thanks

Answer 1

sparring in any top notch gym, you will be wearing larger gloves and head gear. As an amateur, your fights will all be with head gear and heavier gloves as well.

Although the occasional black eye or bruised\broken nose may happen, it's not likely going to be a regular thing.

at least it wasnt in my case.
