It's really fun, but even amateur boxing makes you stupid.

Be ready to run... a lot

getting hit in the body makes you tough, getting hit in the head makes you dumb. be smart about how much full contact sparring you do, and who you spar with. be wary of amateurs looking to beat up a new guy in order to gain confidence before an upcoming fight, this will happen to you and you will get hurt if you are not careful. Don't spar for the first month or two.

I hope you enjoy doing hours and hours of cardio every week, don't bother if you don't like jumping rope or running.

Most importantly, protect yourself at all times. Get those gloves back to your guard after throwing asap. Move your head. Your legs will ultimately be the determining factor in how effective of a fighter you are.

This. Do these bedroom autists think they're just having constant wars in the gym?

listen enjoy the gym. let everyone know there youre not trying to go amateur or anything.
dont get in poeples way if they are actually preparing for a fight. they take precedence.

just let everyone know youre there to learn and if they do want you to step in the ring tell them 50%.
if a dude is knocking the wind out of you and dropping you then goes back to do it again without offering to help with your guard or footwork then that nigger is just tee'ing off on you for sport.

>listen youre gonna enjoy the boxing training part, learning how to throw punches, head movement, jumping rope etc.
>then when it actually moves into footwork and cutting off the ring and just getting clobbered for a few rounds while you cant punch back to beef up your guard youre not gonna have fun with it anymore

it's cool though. you may like it. if I wasn't the only guys speaking english in my gym I woulda stuck with it.

You don't need boxing.

Learn jiu-jitsu, the number one martial art in the world. also all fights go to the ground.

Actualy it's true because most of my jiu jitsu friends and sensei's state this

>pic related vs boxing, is this really a competition?

Fights IRL almost never go to the ground, and the ones that do end up with the guy on the ground getting stomped on by multiple people. That's fine if you want to learn how to play in a ring, but don't spout false information to people.
