        i started about the age of 8 and then stopped at 15 am starting up again soon though. Depends on yourself when you feel ready!

          I started @ 28....I wish I would have started when I was 15.....back then my parents wouldnt let me because I got in too many fights as it was....And they were right in doing so....Now that I am older I have far more discipline than when I was younger and I will make the most of my training noe...I also am taking it much more serious....

            I'm just starting at 17...wish I started at like 10 or something though. Detroit, do you have any amateur fights yet? How long did it take for you to have your first fight (if you had one) since you first started boxing?

                No, I havent had any amatuer fights yet....I just started sparring though and have been training 4x per week with a coach for 3 months....I hope to start fighting within a year but ultimately that decision is up to my coach, and how good i can implement what I have been taught....

                How about you? have you sparred anyone yet?
