confidence.

any advice?

Honestly? Advice: Grow up.

Maybe if you get yourself in a real gym and listen to the coach you may do two things:

a) get good at boxing
b) mature into a young man

[Chris Nagel]

Forget about your kiddie scraps and go to the gym. How else will you know what you can do if you don't try.

I have to agree with everyone here.

[Rocky Balboa]

Go to the gym PERIOD ---> . end of story

Hi onefiftyone,
I concur with what's been said...

You should only use a physical response on the street as a last resort for righteous self-protective purposes.

Okay, in regards to improving your confidence, here's how to do it in a nutshell; join a reputable gym and live/breath the 5 D's--Desire, Determination, Discipline, Dedication and Diligence. I guarantee that you're confidence will positively evolve if you keep your ego and perspective in check as you apply these qualities to your training.

Anyway, take care and good "luck" ("luck" meaning when preparation meets opportunity).

Best Regards,
Lito

Spot on, takes a bigger man to walk away, after a while actually boxing you will have enough confidence in knowing you could on the streets to actually not.

On the street there are no rules, it usually ends in tears when some fool pulls a knife.Get your shit together buddy.

Yeah, I figured y'all would crucify me for street fighting

but you gotta understand where I'm at, theres people starting shit for dumb ass reasons... And Its easy to say the bigger man can walk away, but its not always that simple.

Like the fight I lost, I got into cuz A Dude called my house talking about raping my sister.

which Is why I took the loss so hard, cuz more than just my pride was on the line.

I'm not a Punk running around starting shit on the streets to prove himself. But I know Way too many dudes like that to feel comfortable walking away all the time... And I haven't been in a street fight since last year.

But I will Be in the Gym... Count on it.
