I’ve never competed I used actually train at this gym in my city and the gym belongs to current champion. I was boxing since I was 14 I used to sparr with guys who are currently amateur boxers trying to become pros. Have you competed in any grappling tournaments?

 

[digaagjecel]

@Periplus and @Mozart both have a martial arts background from my knowledge.

 

[Periplus]

I did some boxing and karate for a few years, about to get back into training in January.

I'm a bjj blue belt. Haven't trained for while though. I really miss the mats and competing.

Nope. Just wrestled in hs and did bjj for a few months at an mma gym. Did muay thai/boxing as well, but not enough.

damn looks like you got valuable experience. Can't wait to start boxing.

Boxing Was My Thing For Like 9 Years Won Some Amatuers Fights Great Times Rare To See Somalis In Martial Arts Where I'm From

 

[Nak-Muay-Kru]

Muay Thai for 2 and half years. If you want to compete, get at least 6months of training under your belt. Find a decent gym where people leave their egos at the door, some cunts will legit try and knock you out during sparring.

I'm sure your coach will float the idea of an interclub once he feels that you're ready.
Not sure things work in boxing gyms, but avoid any muay thai gym where they repeatedy just make you do combos when you're dong pad work, it's a horrible way to actually learn. Above all else, focus on technique instead of just throwing every shot with 100%.

You got some steel shins huh?

This guy is one my favorite boxers to watch even though I don’t even keep up with boxing like that anymore. He was the middle weight champion but was stripped because he couldn’t make weight. The guy is fighting opponents who are quicker, stronger, and just all around more athletic then him. In one of his fights the guy literally had titties so his physique isn’t that good. But his technique is probably the best in his weight class and is the main reason why he’s undefeated.

I did circle or discipline boxing, and thought about getting into MMA.

 

[yaqir]

It's mad wallahi, I went back for a session a few weeks back and realised soft I got after kicking the heavy bag for a bit. Kicks and clinching/knees score more in muay thai and seeing as much gyms suck Thai dick, boxing/punching takes a bit of a back seat.

No idea how shit works in boxing, It's probably hell trying to cut weight for the guy. He should consider moving up a weight class. I fucking love any fighter who utilizes bodyshots instead of just head-hunting, a well place punch/knee/kick to the liver absolutely fucking CRUSHES most people.

Boxing- 3 years

One of the smartest choices I've ever made in my life. It's hella fun, amazing workouts, teaches you to defend yourself which is another level of confidence, but my favorite thing about it is that it constantly reminds me at a base level that I have to put in a ton of work to get the results that I want. You want to win a boxing match? Breathe right, move right, think right, be right.

I tried other martial arts, but they were majority all theory, where boxing was just pretty much straightforward. Gloves on, fight.
