The reason I stress full contact is because it's hard to motivate this punishment, if I only want to learn the boxing and not compete. Just as other martial-arts are taught without full contact. I would be fine with it, if my life goal was ring- boxing. But it's not.
Why are you comparing yourself to Ali? lmao
Go play fight with your siblings and you wont get hurt you pussy. I'd say boxing is a man's sport but even the girls in my gym have more guts and nuts than you.

You may not mean it, but you are coming across full of yourself.
You have no interest in sparring yet you can "simply" evade using footwork. If it was that easy everyone would just hit and not get hit "simply" using footwork and employ whatever offensive tactics they wanted. Then you mention Ali-Foreman and indirectly tie in one of Ali's accomplishments as if it weren't Ali making it LOOK that easy.
As mentioned earlier you can do some technical boxing and work your head movement and counter shots on the mitts, but you'll never reach your full potential as if you would actually put what the trainers taught you into practice. You'll be able to easily beat street goons and other beginners but that's it. That's the nature of the beast. Otherwise how can you become as good as you could be by effectively removing an aspect of the art? You could be, but you'll never know.Last edited by Biolink; 08-08-2014, 10:47 PM.

When it comes to confidence, I am probably narcissistic. But this is not the psychology forum.Last edited by Pleonism; 08-09-2014, 12:56 AM.
