Re: im havin alot of trouble with the parents...
sorry, mang. not a lot can help you convince them when you're 14. Your best bet is to tell them you're in it for the training, discipline, self D, etc, and that you'll only spar so often. Then when you're older you'll be able to do as you please.
I'm 33 and my mom doesn't like me boxing. ;D Parental fears never go away. I'm now a parent so I know where they're coming from. They want you handsome and intelligent! ;)
