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)
