Hello, firstly, I'm new to these forums, I've been looking through them the last few days and I must say it's a good forum with alot of people who know their boxing.
Anyway..
Recently i've had the strong urge to take up boxing, which is long overdue since I've enjoyed boxing since the age of 10 and I'm now 17. Anyway, I'm not quite sure to join a local boxing club (I do hope to be competing sometime this year or maybe next) or to just train myself for a year before joining a club, I'm not particularly confident about my weight due to me being overweight so I wouldn't exactly be confident walking into a public club right now..
So maybe I should just train myself for a year and lose weight untill I'm confident with myself? Technique wise I know quite alot since I'm very passionate about boxing and watch a awful lot of it. I know full well knowing and doing is different things, but it's a start. I'll be purchasing a heavy bag soon, and probably some weights, which leads me onto another question (I've just realised how much I've writ already..). As a beginner, should I be looking to focus more on fitness (Me being not in much shape nowadays, as I dont play football (soccer) anymore, or more on technique and let the fitness come later.
Thanks to anyone who bothered to read this far, it'll be a big help to me.
Joey.
