Hi im 14 years old and well built at 5'10 and 170 pounds I really want to get into boxing. None of that g*y ultimate fighter stuff just straight up boxing. Can anyone give me any good ways/places/ideas to help me start? Im decent at fighting but have never been in a controled fight

Answer 1

Well you should watch a lot of boxing fights of legands and past fighters, you know  to get a feel for the sport,

Then find a local gym around your area talk with the coach

and you will be on your way,

You must understand boxing is not just a 1-2-3 boom

your a fighter.

It takes much time and you will have to work hard,

You get what you put into it,

also train your a s s off every day in order to stay in shape,

Your kinda young tho, some gyms dont allow fighters under 16 some even 18,

good luck

Answer 2

ultimate fighting is just that - ultimate

nuff said

Answer 3

you may have to use the old fashion method and have alook in your phone book alot of good gyms only have phones not webpages

Answer 4

go to a gym, not la fitness or 24hours a thugged out gym, try finding one in which the trainer(s) is/are/were professional boxers.

P.S UFC is not g*y, I am into boxing and not UFC either, but UFC is a art, s orespect it, one thing about success, always think your ****, honestly, think lowly of yoself

Answer 6

Find a local boxing gym and ask can u join it lol thats pretty much the jist of it..u dont have to watch videos of fighters etc.. in fact i wouldnt recommend it cos when u start boxing u will have to get the hang of basics such as footwork and keeping your hands up before you even throw a punch...its much more complex than you would think my coach told me that boxing is the art of "hitting and not getting hit" so if your footwork isnt right you will get clipped..just bear that in mind, you wont be able to just walk up in there and 3 weeks later be able to KO people like mike tyson lol hope that helps
