I want to box but I have no gyms or trainers around that I know of

well you can still register and have a registered coach in your corner he can be anybody...i mean you can train on your own , but its in your best interest to at least spar somebody and learn techniques. best advice i can tell you is watch a boxer that is close to your weight ..some one good ( marciano, tyson, frasier, ali, sugar ray, thomas herns , etc...)
and just do your best to learn and go at it

 

dont try and emulate anyone, find your natural style and watch alot of boxing any weight then you can imcorporate certain aspects of a fighters style in to yours but only if it adds to you

no point learning how to fight like sweet pea if your a slow brawler

 

What city you currently reside in.

Dont worry about being like anyone trust me your style will come to you. When I first started boxing I tried to be like everyone I though of but eventually just settled into myself. Although the amateur fights could really help you learn on the job at the moment id hold off until you can find some decent sparring because you will get crushed with no sparring experience. It would be good to have a buddy hold the mits but make sure he has proper form when you punch make sure he puts resistance on the pads or you will just throw your arms out and make sure he makes everything realistic like the pads closer to his face and not spread out real far and have him back up when your jabbing and correct him so he dont smother your range. Yeah get a heavy bag,buy some handwraps and a decent pair of 16 oz gloves its helps your conditioning and you will need them to spar with. Everyones different ive never been big on weights when I only boxed id run 5 miles every morning then finish up at the playground doing sets up dips,pullups,chinups,pushups on top the dip bars and then id work some abs although id did more ab work at the boxing gym with medicine balls. You can continue weight training just try to do it to be lean and still have flexiblity in your arms and some endurance. Do I lot of shadow boxing to work your technique you may be best suited now to watch alot of them instructionals im sure youtube or something has alot or I know title.com has some good books and DVDs. Good luck if you ever wanna ask me anything hit me up im on aim grapefruitballs9 or if you dont have aim PM me.

 

1. buy a bag and hit it,
2. set up a mirror so you can shadow box and see your form, where your hands are etc
3. work in rounds of 3 minutes
4. skip a lot for speed.
5. learn simple combo's, jab double jab, hooks.

that's really as much as you can do without a coach, you need sparing and coaching to learn how to box.

 

Keep trying mate. You can't learn how to box without a trainer IMO.

 

I agree. If you can't find a trainer then forget fighting so keep looking.
