    Yeah they could do the non-contact stuff, no way is this country going to allow it.

    I mean they let us play Rugby at my school and we used to ****ing go for it, most of us didn't even know the rules for **** sake, you'd just find someone you didn't like and smash him, and he'd do the same to you. Pure Comedy. I'm sure boxing would actually have been safer.

      The western world is full of *******. The guys that can pass these laws cant fight for **** themselves and to remain politically correct they'll dismiss the idea.

        They got my vote. See how that goes for 2 or 3 years and take it from there.

          I don't think that boxing is something that can be forced upon people. With my kids I'll put them in soccer and I'll put them in Judo but I won't let them do boxing unless they ask me to do it.

          I would be against making boxing mandatory in schools but I wouldn't have a problem in making it accessible.

            I think its more to make it accessible fella rather than compulsory.

                    Boxing has a way of keeping people humble. You learn very quickly there's always someone who can woop my ass and not to underestimate anyone. I think we need that today.

                      It should be non-contact, and if it was you could make it compulsary. Unless their worried about kids learning how to punch correctly then hurting eachother, but on the flipside, they might stop carrying knives then!
