Has anyone here been involved in boxing?

Yes. Don't do it.

Shadow boxing

beat boxing

I've been to UFC. The basic classes they offer are mainly for conditioning. but you do get to punch the bag and do kicks and that sort of thing

Now, they have advanced classes where you can spar with other folks but i think you have to do the beginner classes for a few months and learn the techniques


And LA boxing is now UFC...There are other gyms like these guys too out there in BR

I've been involved with women's Boxes. Does that count?

I was a beast back in the day on Mike Tyson knockout. How may I help you?

Tl;dr: Unless you're super serious, stick with a heavy bag in your garage

In high school, there was a boxing school near where I lived that served as an outreach program for troubled kids, mainly those who were recently released from juvenile hall. BUT, if you were a kid from the suburbs genuinely interested, you could pay $10/mo to get your arse kicked by these kids. I'm proud to say I was never knocked down, but I can guaran-damn-tee you this: shite gets real when you're in the ring against a kid your age who's already been arrested for assault. I learned a lot though...great conditioning too

They don't teach you the ins and outs of boxing they just make you do this extremely rigorous boxing routine with a lot of bag work with cardio mixed in. It will damn near kill you the first week.

I'm very good at unboxing

Yes, in high school. Found it to be enjoyable if I was winning but less so if I was losing. Acquired a wonderfully sculpted nose as a reward.
