Should I give a boxing another go?

[valdimar]

If you would have the confidence and the drive you would be in the gym training and not sitting on boxing forum making up exscuses and asking people if you should train.

Mate.. I don't want to train in a ****ty gym or with a ****ty coach, and when did I say I have the drive? I said I have the confidence, to make it somewhere in boxing.. since people tell me that I'm naturally strong for someone who doesn't lift or works out a lot.. of course that's not enough but that's a great advantage.

Mate If I'd start boxing.. which I would take seriously plus I'm gonna start going to the gym also swimming.. which I've just slowly started.. if I'd add boxing in.. I'd pretty much lose a loads of fat and add loads of muscle not to mention.. I've already had healthier diet for the past year.. and people like you are just a disgrace.. calling people fat af is just sad.. in Iceland people are raised way better than that.. sadly you probably weren't raised properly.

So in Iceland they teach you to go onto forums and tell strangers you could whoop them? **** outta here. I've been training for over a year and never stepped foot in a gym. You can do roadwork, shadowbox, and calisthenics outside of a gym. To make a heavy bag just get a duffle bag or military bag and fill it with clothes and other miscellaneous softish objects. There is always a way to train.

If you have a good gym your more likely to go pro and of course become better and learn faster.. than doing it own your own.

You're not going to turn pro immediately and most likely won't be successful in today's climate without an amateur career. There's a certain level you can reach by training on your own. I believe I have reached that limit and starting in June after school is out I will begin to go to the gym near me and train for about a month to polish up some stuff and then start out amateurs.

Read Dempsey's book Championship Fighting. The greatest book you could read on learning how to box and conditioning.

You'd best give yourself more than a month. #1 for true conditioning... #2 to correct all of those things that became 'habit', training yourself you will have many bad habits that will need to be corrected by a professional eye...........

If you feel you have potential then yes, you should train. I am a firm believer in taking advantage of the gifts you've been given.

Of course, to fight, your resolve must be ironclad... Oscillating on whether you want to train or not is not a good start.

Iceland? Cool. That would certainly grab people's attention when they announce where you're from.
