Learning to Box

[DMC]

Thanks guy's for your help, I will try some of your suggestions out.

Rockin' The gym i go to is great The guy helping us all out was a great boxer in his time and does a great job at our gym. He has offered suggestions and help, I was only asking on here to get more than one idea. someone may have an idea that works better.
Unfortunately where I am in Australia, Boxing gyms only cater for people who want to box as an Amateur or Pro. There not interested in anyone else, especially people who are 31yrs old.
I get help from the gym owner and guy's at the gym, but I thought I would see what some of the wisepeople on here had some advice.
Thanks Rockin' for your suggestion but I don't have that option of going anywhere else at this point.

hey guys I'm only 16 but I got a real ****ty lower back. I keep in good shape, work out hard five days a weak. I've fought before but that's in the street and that's real different from full length boxing rounds. and I'm not just bitching about a little back pain it's pretty significant but I love boxing and I have a pretty high pain tolerance. do you think I should give this sport a shot, or my back would really hold me back too much?

oh and good luck dmc, sorry if I changed the topic of your thread this just seemed like a good place to ask for advice like this

Hi Star of David,

Welcome!

Not at all, feel free to ask for help in here.
Back pain can be a real *****, but your only 16 I think if you work on strengthening your back muscles you will have less pain and fewer problems with your back.
However I am no expert maybe some others on here might help you with some advice.

Why not have a go, It's better to have a go than spend your life wondering "What if"
I only wish I had of been interested when I was 16 instead of starting at 31 lol.
