Want to start boxing...good idea?

Well Im 15 years old 5 11- 6 foot 156 pounds. Athletic but from running. Big track/cross country fan. But I really want to start boxing. Mainly for the fitness and physique. Is this a good sport to achieve that? Is it fun?


I am willing to work hard. I always do. How much is it a month? What kinda gear do I need? Any other info that you guys can give me would be great.



Boxing is not an easy sport, I'll tell you that much. It takes a lot to become a successful boxer. Someone who boxes as just for fitness isn't pushed as hard as real fighters who enter in competitions. Boxing I have to admit is fun yet very demanding and challenging. You must be committed and devoted to your training at all times because your training is what will affect what you do in the ring when you are sparring or in competition. Prices a month vary on what gym you attend and how they set the prices out. Some gyms are expensive but those are the good gyms where real fighters train. Gear you can start out with is hand wraps, a good pair of training/boxing gloves, jump rope, head gear ( if you plan on sparring with friends ), mouth piece, groin protector, and boxing shoes if preferred.





Joining a boxing gym/club would be your best option if you really want to learn the sweet science.


Good luck and be safe. Boxing is a dangerous sport but it's not so dangerous if you do know how to box.




you can try to contact the golden gloves association.they are the largest amateur boxing organization in the country.
