I live in Vancouver and I am going to start going to sugar rays boxing in January. I am a mixed martial artist (Training for 2 1/2 years, took a year off to have surgery on my knees from wrestling.) I am 19 and just getting back into serious training. I would like some guys opinions on sugar rays and other boxing clubs/trainers in Vancouver just to make sure I can choose the right one.
A little info, I have mild asthma and my foot work is not very good at the moment. I have always been a good grappler but I have always enjoyed striking more. I feel that if I do want to become a great fighter overall boxing is probably the best way to go (Most MMA guys are terrible with their hands). I am willing to put in all the effort that my training requires and hope to go amateur by 20-21ish, and pro 21-23ish. Does that sound like a reasonable time line?
I would consider being a professional boxer but my brain and intelligence means a lot to me. I have always just figured that MMA is safer in terms of athletes getting brain damage.
