alex.. pretty much what I was gonna say. If your moms not going to let you fight in a club.. well.. fight in the street. Eventually you will begin to become pretty good at it.. or at least good at taking a beating. It's also a good way to find out if you really want to be a fighter. If you fight enough in the street.. eventually your mom will see that's just what you are.. a fighter. And from a man who has much experiance in his 23 years.. its a lot better to get hit in the ring then in the street. But down side.. once you get to a trainer, he's going to have to change all the bad habbits you have from street fighting.. but at least you have some experiance, and no body can ever take that from you.
