My 15 yr.old son has taken an interest in boxing. He already works out for football. He's 5'9", 145 lbs. He does 500 sit ups, and 600 pushups, 5 times a week. He also jump ropes, and runs 1 or 2 miles 5 times a week. His fundamentals are pretty good, (keeps his guard up, when hitting the heavy bag, and coaching mitts.) His feet are OK.
We don't have a boxing gym locally. So what he wants to do is, go to a gym in another city, and get a sparring session. To see if this is something he wants to do. Is this a good idea.
I haven't been involved in boxing since the early 80's. I don't want to mess my son up.
