Why did you start?

[Youngblood]

I liked to hit people. This seemed a reasonable option for that tendancy.

Ha.

I'm the opposite. I've never been in a fight. I think part of me starting box is that I have something to prove LOL

I never knew to be honest, nothing in the family to suggest I would do it my mother hated me doing it. Then this year I found out why, my father whom I had not seen from being 6 and who my mother never spoke of, was Canadian Army Boxing Champ with over 80 contests. Mothers

I was a tubby kid. Started sports becuase I wanted to slim down. When I started boxing, although I was tubby I could move and found I have decent reflexes. I fell ion love with the sport and it became an obsession.

I wanted to learn a martial art. I narrowed it down to the ones I thought were most cost effective: boxing, kickboxing, and muay thai. I looked into muay thai first because I like chuck Liddel, but the guy near my house charged a fortune. Then I looked into kickboxing. On my way to look for Cooper's Boxing and Kickboxing in Detroit I stumbled onto a small boxing gym along the way.I went in thinknig it had to be the place. But it wasn't. It was a dedicated boxing gym, and I'm glas I found it.

But I'll still kick my bag once in a while... I love boxing but I still have a soft spot for muay thai and kickboxing...

I've only just started boxing myself, but I started because I've always had this fixation with getting stronger and eventually being the strongest in the world someday. Boxing is my first step towards that goal.

My sisters ex-boyfriend hit my sister one night giving her a black eye and I couldn't do anything about it. I wanted revenge to be honest, but I fell in love with the sport, like the rest of you guys.
