it's funny you mentioned that the first time I went to a boxing gym they thought I looked like I knew what I was doing so had me spar with the most experienced guy.
The guy comes in to hold...dips low...my hands go round the back of his head and my facking leg twitched..I nearly kneed the fella in the face..goes to show how well we've been trained The guy didn't see it but my mum who bless her likes to keep an eye out for me did.

Finding a good gym is hard. There are lots of gyms but you need to click with the people, trainer, or you're just treading water.

it has happened before, i have infact kneed somone in the gut.
ive even doe a hip throw in somone in a sparring session, needless to say that was embarresing!

[IllegalSPKilla]

For me it was not knowing how much my opponent knew/how experienced they were until we sparred - never underestimate even if you're the bigger/stronger opponent

Uhh... hardest part of boxing is surely taking punishment??

Any sane person would say that PAIN was the hardest part of boxing.

The fear of being hit while sparring was my main problem (which got my vote), followed by a close 2nd of stamina training.

but we expect training to be hard.

The most enjoyable part of boxing for me was always training. I absolutely loved it! Maybe I'm a freak or whatever but I loved training so much?

ive been sitting on my ass not going to school or having a job for 3 years and now im trying to start boxing. defenitely the training has been the hardest so far.but i still havent even been hit yet so maybe once i do ill change my answer.

[alex w]

hell yes, i love the pain from training, dont worry you aint no freak!
i diddnt mind being hit, cause ive been hit so many times before, its second nature to me now!

Easily stamina training, stamina is so hard. I love hitting and getting hit so that was no prob.
