good luck
today was my first class and I threw up twice!! I ate mcdonalds and a bannana before I left bad idea. what should I eat tomorrow it’s at 9pm
Banana and protein shake/drink.
I prefer to not have to join a gym to attend them so a boxing studio would be nice.
Your local hopkiti center
I won’t be fighting in the ring or anything, just taking it on a fitness level. I’m a 14 year old girl by the way.
Kicking Somebodys A**!! LoL
I am looking for somewhere relatively close to work (Walthamstow) and home (Outer East London)
I have tried it before and I really enjoyed it but because of the distance it got hard to travel there.
I would class myself as a beginner, and evening/weekend classes would be great!
Any help would be appreciated!!
Just to add: a place in ENGLAND, London. Thanks!

Im boxing training realy hard been closeness a pound a day I’m 5/8 209 I’m cutting down 2 180 so 5/9 180 what is that?
A weight of 180 pounds would make you a Light-Heavyweight.
I’m a 15, a girl and i really wanna try kickboxing because well i wanna stay fit, boxing sounds like fun and to take out my anger.
Can anyone tell me what to expect in these classes, what they are like? what all do we do as a beginners and all? I would really appreciate it, thanks(:
Kickboxing had been categorize under Martial Arts, the reasons why you received an unusual response from other.
Of course, such has a boxing skills merge with kicking, such is the reasons why it gain an advantage compare to boxing.
But, if you want to know more, then visiting such place is better ideas while observing things.
Good luck

I have never boxed before and have always wanted to. I am too intimidated to walk into a gym where the only clients are incredibly in-shape fit fighters. Are there any instructors/gyms where not-so-young women can take lessons?
I sure hope so…I think its great that you want self-defense lessons.And its never to late to learn.I show my mom some tricks and kicks all the time.And she says"Who the hell do you think taught you how to fight fool?"She is so funny.I wish i owned a gym.Id make it for women/men welcome of course.I love boxing and martial arts.its so challenging.And they weren’t always in shape.That reminds me of a person saying when i straighten up my act…i’ll go to church and get saved.Come as you are…we will whip you into shape.Good luck with finding one near you.
I have never boxed before, but am going to the Virginia Military Institute next fall and want to give their boxing club a try. I’m almost 5’10, weigh 145 pounds, have a 73′ reach and have room to put a lot of muscle on my frame. Can anyone give me some advice on what weight class I should aim for?
Well when you start training you’ll lose weight and gain muscle.
From there see what size and weight of opponents you work best when sparring against.
I’d image you should do well at Super Welterweight or maybe Junior Middleweight
Hope this helped!
ok so I’ve been thinking a lot of about starting boxing. i originally wanted to do either jiu-jitsu or krav-maga, but theres almost no places around here, and i have no intention of doing karate or any other style like that, so i decided to do straight up boxing. i turned 15 about a week ago, and i’m 6’1" 215 lb. with a max bench of 255 and a max squat of 475. i know how to box a little because i’m big into MMA. i know like proper stance and i would classify myself as an amateur fighter. I’ve never took any type of classes in boxing so i don’t really know the rules and whatnot. what i’m asking is what weight class would i be in? who would i be fighting (age-weight)? are there a lot of huge kids out there that would kick my ass? is it too late to start? is it dangerous(brain damage)? also, are there tournaments that i could compete in for my age bracket?
Well ur defiantly a big guy, ur no doubt a heavyweight. Very strong for ur age, but power is only part of it. You need to find a local boxing gym and talk to the trainers in there they’ll help you out, even if they don’t train youth boxers they’ll point u in the right direction.
I’m not that into the amateur, youth boxing, so i dont really know how the weight classes or ages go, but its safe to say you’ll be facing kids ur size and age. U prolly wont even start sparring for at least a few month and might not fight for a year, boxing takes time to learn.
It’s too bad no high schools have boxing teams the way they do wrestling teams, cuz then boxing would be a lot bigger mainstream than it is now and america would have a lot more big pro fighters.
It’s never too late for someone to give boxing a try, but u have to want it. Don’t quit just because training is hard or u lose ur first bout. Kirmit Cintron is a top ranked figher and former welterweight champion and from my understanding, he didn’t start boxing until he was 19, so u can start now and still make a good living if your good enough.
for amateurs, u dont need to worry about injuries. U wear protective head gear in those fights and fights only last 4 rounds. There should be tournaments for kids ur age, but u need to start looking for a boxing gym first. look around online and see what u can find, look for the nearest one and walk in and tell them "i want to be a boxer" and take it from there. I would be best to show up in person as oppose to a phone call or email because coming in person is a lot more respectable and personal. be ready to work as well. good luck.
