Hello my name is Austin,
And I would like to become a boxer.I would want to know how i get started.I've heard here that you have to have a trainer. Where do i get one from?I also do not know how to started because there are no boxing activities at my highschool. But, there is a lifting weights class there which i can take. I have been lifting some weights daily and have a little bit of muscle. What can i do to workout?
Thanks

You can try and teach yourself the basics. I had to teach myself,because Im too poor to afford one. So I have to train myself. I do push ups sit ups and run alot. Also jump rope alot it builds your endurence

ive always loved boxing and have been a huge fan since i was a kid..ive always toyed with the notion of learning to box but just never made the move. as a youngster my parents wouldnt hear of it and i was always into football, basketball, and baseball, and played hoops thru college. then i went to law school then working my my up the laddr for last five years....now that im settled in my career and personal life (married 1 month ago) id like to take some lessons. again im 30, about 6'3 1/2 270 lbs or so but mostly muscle from years of weightlifting (37-38 waist so not to fat) pretty good athlete as i said, pretty quick soft hands, good footwork due to years playing in the post in basketball.. and ive always been pretty tough with a high pain threshold...........im not saying i want to be competitive fghter but id like to take lessons and really learn how to fight for two basic reasons
1 get in top shape (treadmill is boring)
2 increase my self confidence and esteem
what do u guys think? (in all sincerity)
You should be able to find a local club on google but if nt just ask around for a local club.
When you do start people start to respect you more and it gives you something to talk about with people you dont like ::)
i can handle myself i just would like to know for sure that if someone fucked with me i could turn there lights out quick--especially some of the punk ass kids i see from time to time that i grew up with and old college and law school guys that i hate--u know again im a pretty big guy and i bench press 400 lbs so im sure if i learned how to throw hands id be pretty devastating to the average punk in a bar who fucked with me you know?
no other thoughts? im dissappointed
I've been interested in boxing for many years, now i want to try it. I'm 15 years old, 165 lbs, 5 foot 10, with about 18 percent bodyfat. I can hit very hard and i am pretty fast, but i want to get serious. I have always looked up to Mike Tyson as a fighter(not a person), so I am going to get into good shape with bodyweight exercises mostly, even though i have weight equipment. I have a good amount of size in my room for a heavy bag, my ceiling is 8 feet from the floor, so hopefully thats enough space for a bag? its a very hot room so I'll sweat a lot too. Please tell me some equipment to buy to get started, thanks.
you will need handwraps gloves punch bags and some dumbells ;D
i have dumb bells, how about this for the rest?
