That's what he was trying to tell you, be sure to strengthen your knuckles. 100 reps of full force concrete wall punching supersetted with 100 knuckle pushups on gravel (that's the important part, the pain locks in the gain). Do that and watch some Floyd Mayweather videos on Youtube and you'll be beating the **** out of any other high schooler that messes with you.






Go to a boxing gym.

 

I was joking, definitely do not try and strengthen your knuckles. Any serious knuckle conditioning severely ****s with your hand mobility and function by the time you're in your 30s - people who do that at your age severely regret it.

 

Yes you should have a better chance of winning ! Don't go out looking for a fight or thinking your hard because you have trained yourself for 5 months tho lol ! Only fight as a last resort ! Get to a boxing gym and see where your really at :good

 

nice program:good

 

Tried it, doesn't work. I was way better than the other newbs, but they've all since become better than me because my bad habits hold me back.

And you don't break your knuckles when you hit someone, you break your metacarpals. When you see a jagged bone sticking out the back of your hand, you'll be moderately displeased. And then get your ass kicked.

 

I really don't get why so many people (newbs, generally) come here 'asking for advice' - only to ignore anyone who says something contrary to what they want to hear.

What I got out of the posts are that this kid wants to fight people (using the 'self defence' schtick as a cover), and is wondering if boxing is applicable on 'the street'...

If you are interested in boxing go to a gym and learn. Just in case you didn't catch that, here it is again, but bigger and in a jazzy colour to catch your attention:

This topic is hilarious.

You shouldn't box. Judging from your English you have enough brain damage already

 

I am self trained.

I dont train in a public gym - I train at home - and do my own routine.

Thats ok for me - cos I have done it for years - and know what I am doing and know what works for me.

I just train to keep in shape - not for competion.

I dont spar - but I do have someone who when available takes me on a drill on the pads every week.

In the past - I have trained in boxing gym - and learnt the basics of style and stance and footwork - and how to use your legs to generate power through into your punches and defensive work - like parrying down punches , etc- which all helps and also sparred many rounds which gave me experience.

I'm happy to self train - now - because I aint going anywhere - competiton wise - just keeping in shape.

Its possible I could train in a real boxing gym again - or any kind of gym - but only if I feel like - I know one guy who goes out to Thailand and places like that and trains there now and again.

It depends what your aspirations are ?

If you really want to learn boxing skills - you got to go to a real gym and spend time with a trainer and around mopre experienced boxers than yourself -

For basic fitness - there is no reason why you cannot get in shape training yourself - as long as you have the focus and determnation to do so.
