Why did you start?

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.

As good a reason as any.
One thing the sport gives you is the ability to move past base survival,instead of fighting to survive you can look at a guy and think,"I could kick seven kinds of crap out of you,but I choose not to"

I agree. I'm far from a very good boxer but knowing that I've now had fists thrown at me more than the regular man gives me confidence in being able to look after myself. I don't think I'll panic as much if it ever happens (i've not been in a fight yet and I would like to keep it as such).

That and the fact that I'll be able to run away for faster and longer
