I'd love to get real training.
Look, I realized I took a shot against you in my first reply, but honestly, if you want to box bad enough, you'll find a way. I take my bicycle often to my gym 30-40+ mins one way. I pay for my stuff often with my paper route. My dad does help me out, but if he didn't, I'd still find away.

Suggesting experience by watching youtube vids you are just setting yourself for ridicule, and also, for disappointment thinking you are actually learning boxing. For you are not. The only way to learn is to find a way to get your ass to a gym. Once there, you'll know soon enough if this sport is for you or not, and in a hurry too.

Anyway, good luck, hope you find your way there.
Agreed. If you really want to do it and the only thing stopping you is a ride, that's a pretty weak excuse. And 9 times out of 10 if a parent sees their kids is driven enough to do something on their own and stick with it they'll help out.

Putting on gloves and swinging wildly with your buddies is incredibly dangerous. I'm not go in to all the injuries that could result because I have a feeling I'd be wasting my time.

If you really love boxing you'll join the gym. Join with a friend and get a ride from them, ride the bus, whatever. If you don't have the drive to even get to a gym you'll never stick with it and you'll never be any good. But if you do really want to do it, you will.
