    As a kid I trained at finchley but never spared of had fights because my mum is over protective and wouldnt sign the forms and by 13-14 was playing decent level of football and tennis so just did those. I had 2 fights at uni but it was very amateur all charity.

    just don't have the time and don't wanna get ugly to be honest.

    Why dont you box? I have a bad glass jaw, like really bad, swells up loads whenever I am hit on the chin and it basically locks so I can't open my mouth more than 1-2cm.

    Got to old for it? see above

    Dont like pain? pain = bad

    In fairness, Rob is a handsome dude.

    I used to hit a heavy bag and that's about it, never sparred or fought.

    There's quite a few that box on here, I've never laced the gloves up though.
     
  9. It wasn't ever really accessible for me, I never knew there was a local boxing club until I was well into my teens, by which point I was firmly into egg chasing and was a pretty good player too.

    Went Kickboxing training when I was a teengaer and sparred a little (very little) loved the actual training more wasnt keen on getting hit.

    Far too old for it now, have recently started doing Boxercise to keep a bit fitter and hit some pads which makes me feel like a boxer! I do ache a bit for a few days afterwards! :tired
