    Yeah you can improve yourself without a gym but ideally you want a proper boxing gym where you can get sparring & get a feel for it and the angles punches come from.

    I wouldn't recommend Street fighting or anything but yes its effective, the single most effective form of combat sports you can do.


    Get your fitness levels right up and get to a local boxing gym.

        You may learn how to fight by training on your own but in terms of boxing, you will only develop bad habits. I trained on my own for years and once I started with a professional coach, I learned more in a month than in 5 years of self-teaching. You absolutely need someone there to critique your form and have people to spar with.

              The thing is, you wont know if youre getting bad habits. You need a coach to see those things and tell you how you're doing.
