I´m 20. I´m a skinny guy who doesn´t really have any "real" fighting experience. Also I don´t have a good physical condition. I can´t run more than 1km without taking a break or at least slowing the pace. Also my punches are weak :S. (well those are the reasons why I wanted to practice a sport (boxing) actually)
I wear braces, and I´m afraid to get my teeth ruined by receiving too many punches. How often does that happen?
Also I don´t want to have a crooked nose because of boxing. but again, is that going to happen?
I really don´t know if tthat´s going to happen but it worries me a bit. (yeah I know I sound like a whimp xD)
The thing is I want to practice a sport to have a healthier life. I like boxing because it can help me defend myself as well (and thus being more manly, I suppose xD)
So, I was hoping some of you guys could help me clear these inquiries.
