I need you guy's opinion

I have von willebrands which is a bleeding dissorder. my doctor tells me not to box cause i could bleed to death or have severe inturnal bleeding from being hit.

I box anyways so in my opionion as a stubburn,ill do wut i want kind of guy,id say go for it!

 

just make sure u work on building a good defense and try not to to get hit to hard :/
this is just my opionion, you might want to listen to your doctor though, he's the one with years of colege under his belt.

 

You only have one brain. If you really love boxing, I'd encourage you to find another way to be involved. Coach, official etc.

 

your probly exactly right,
maybe you should listen to amy shes a genius.
i see her answering lots of questions and always seems to be right on top of things

 

Whats more important to you, boxing or being able to see? Telling you to go for it would be idiotic. If you are that dumb to risk it go ahead.

 

Teddy Atlas had to make the choice not to box because of health reasons. Bottom line is, it's your brain. Think about that for a few minutes. Your brain. It's not a bum shoulder or a bad knee. It's your brain.

 

You could try another combat sport, like jui jitsu or something.

 

why dont you wrestle? you could also train in the gym without sparring, although its not the same.

 

i put being able to fight in front of being able to breathe not everyones the same but if i was him i would go for boxing if thats what he loves

 

That's the worst advice I've ever read on this forum, bar none.

don't forget, it's kind of hard to fight if you can't breath

 

your health is your wealth mate!! try training without full contact sparring otherwise coaching is another route! Good luck..

 

No one that cared about you would let you do it. There are plenty of gyms that will allow you to learn the sport and do the boxing exercises without the sparring (roadwork, padwork, bagwork, jump-rope, etc). Essentially you end up learning to be the best boxer you can be, without the actual sparring or fighting. This is the best alternative that you should pursue. It can still turn into a successful hobby, just not a career. If you want to be even more involved after that, look to become a coach like Amy said.
