There should be more young people undertaking boxing ..It makes it more then likely that the discipline she learns in boxing will carry to her social life and working life and she'll make the right decisions about whether to smoke or whether she wants to drink or do drugs.. Most of the lads i know at the gym are too dedicated to boxing and used to being healthy to have ever considered drugs or cugarettes..
If it were me.. Then i'd jump at the chance.. But i dont know your daughter and i dont have the same life experiance as you...
How old is she can i ask?
Peace
she is 14 and I think she is at the age to go with her on this...You are right when it comes to the drugs and trouble...so we'll see....usually you know if it's something you want to do after a few crakes upside the head.....Luckily I have coached Amature Boxing for the better part of the last 3 years and would love to get the chance to coach my child....
If she wants to box just to learn it and stay in shape. Than yeah, let her. But if she wants to actually box to compete than I say no. 14 is a pretty advance age to learn boxing from scratch (is she learning from scratch?). Most kids (including girls) first start learning at a younger age. I first learned at 7. I seen some start at 5. So she'll be at a disadvantage experience wise. Which will lead to a good amount of ass kickings. Which I doubt you'll want your daughter going through. Anyway, that's just my opinion. Good luck in whatever you decide.
I couldnt disagree more...
I started boxing at the age of fifteen with no boxing knowledge...
And i aint shit for sure..But since theres no way of proving my skill other examples are bernard hopkins and winky wright.. Winky started at fifteen and bernard at 17..
Now of course these guys are men and were likely born to fight...
But its never too late to learn...
Fighting is a different option..But to have your daughter train seriously and learn to fight properly can do little harm in the right circumstances..
