Would You Let Your Son Be A Boxer

Yes, it doesn't mean he'll stick with it. If I hold him back he'll just end up resenting me or doing it behind my back. Boxing keeps a lot of kids off the streets and lets them vent their frustration.

 

Have two little girls. One is into gymnastics and soccer, and has shown zero interest in judo (a sport I did), but likes occasionally hitting the bag or punching hands. No worries there. The youngest is too small to do any sports yet. If I had a son I would want him to gravitate towards baseball, hockey, competitive swimming....anything other than boxing. Wouldn't mind him joining a gym and training boxing. But actually fighting regularly as an amateur, I'd have reservations for obvious reasons.

 

Yes but not sparring.

 

Depends on whether he had a gift for it or really really wanted to do it. I certainly wouldnt encourage it and would even try put them off for a while but if the want for Boxing sticks and it shows its not just a fad then yeah i would.

Hell if he turned out to be real good i may even manage him, ive got more pens than the Eubanks.

 

Boxing chooses you.

 

The public high school near by my house is specialized in elite sport. They have soccer, hockey, football, gymnastic, and many other, which includes boxing. The rate of concussion in boxing there is lower than in hockey and football. Still, I would not want my son to boxe. But the practice of almost every elite sport opens a door to serious injury. Two of my daughter soccer coach have played elite sport, one at the university level (soccer) the other played professionnal football. The one has jelly knees, the other jelly everything.

 

Im teaching my son and daughter boxing. The skills I learned boxing can absolute help you out in other sports. Namely the breathing and relaxation aspect of boxing. In terms of advanced technique, the ability to control which muscles you use and when is useful other sports as well.

Im not a hard ass, but boxing for both of them will not be a choice it will be a requirement. It will likely only be once or twice a week unless they start to like it, but nothing can replace the confidence you gain from knowing how to defend yourself.

 

Plan on teaching both (my boy and girl) how to fight. Would only maybe lean my daughter towards MMA or boxing on a higher level. Realistically, neither of them will probably make it to the pros.

 

It's strange, because I came from a boxing family. I boxed, as did my brother, and as a boxer, we never thought of the dangers. Of course we knew it was dangerous, but we never thought about it when it happened. Now I'm older, I understand how scary it is to watch people you love boxing. It's totally different to how I felt when I boxed because I felt I was in total control, but as a person watching the boxing, you feel useless. No way, would I want my kids to box. I must of put my family through hell LMAO.

 

Absolutely not.

We would all dream our child would have their name up in lights in Vegas and retire undefeated.

The reality is they will get knocked out and lots of boxers are depressed.

 

No.

The chances of escaping from the game without any long-term damage (mentally and physically) are extremely remote. The chaces of doing that and being successful are even less. I'd much rather he had a normal job and a much higher chance of living out a healthy life.
