How does /fit/ feel about boxing? Is it a s t h e t i c ?

How does one learn how to box? I have a punching bag at home i could use. I think I need to improve my conditioning first though.

Go to a club and take a few classes. You need to learn how to wrap your hands and use proper gloves, also how to punch. Otherwise injuries aren't far off.

Boxing is great to help with your conditioning. If you are serious and dont' want to pay 80-120 month for boxing membership.

Find some youtube videos/ instructor dvds for boxing and get yourself a big mirror to watch your form.
Especially when you are first starting out you want to wrap your hands when you are punching the bag.
Get a jump rope this helps with cardio, being light on your feet, and helps you with timing.

What type of physique do you get from boxing?

Boxing training is almost always done as such:

The lesson is in intervals that simulate a boxing match, so 3 minutes of action and 1 of rest. Divided into 3 parts: physical conditioning, technical training and sparring.

Physical conditioning in boxing typically involves a SHIT TON of abwork, as well as rope jumping and cardio bagwork.

Technical training involves pads, shadowboxing, and drills drills drills for bobbing, weaving, movement, strikes, everything. It's meant to be intense also.

finally, sparring for as many rounds as you can handle.

Boxing is the single most intensive physical activity I've ever done, I love everything about it. Brazilian Jiu Jitsu comes in second when it comes to intensity, I've heaved during both.

To answer your question: abs, shoulders and legs get worked hard in boxing.
