self trained

Teaching yourself will only ingrain bad habits. In fact, on the street, you might even end up trying something you've "taught yourself" only to leave yourself open so that any aggressive opponent can catch you with a wild shot and ruin any sense of calm and follow through you hoped you might have in an actual fight.

Without a proper instructor, you'll just be mimicking the craft. Without sparring partners, you won't ever be able to apply the craft to real life contact.

 

Actually, boxing isn't good for self defense. Boxing makes you a good boxer. It may teach you how to punch but that's about it self defense-wise, to be honest that isn't jack **** when it comes to defending yourself.

 

I think this is more what you're after mate;

The simple stuff the jab cross etc. You won't even throw them, your just going to use your instincts after you get hit. Without a gym you practically won't be doing any of those things. Like I said look into a martial art for self defence? Or wait it out till you can drive yourself to the gym

 

Boxing isn't for self defense. I don't know a single competitive fighter that fights outside the ring. If I got into a fight, punching the other guy would be the last thing I'd do (go punch a rock and try to figure out why).

 

:good

I find I never get into fights. I wonder if it's because I'm a well adjusted normal person without some kind of chip on my shoulder. Or maybe I don't present myself as a victim.

If you're getting in fights/worried about it, you should step back and evaluate why folks want to fight you.

 

And where do you live, the Hampton's? Daddy send the limo to pick you up.

 

You're not an overly proud homosexual that gets all pissy when somebody throws your pizza on the floor at a pizza place.

That guy was hilarious.

 

Cute. I used to live across the street from an abandoned crack house that burned down with two homeless people in it and lit the house next to it which displaced about 13 people. My house just had mice infestation, nothing too bad.

I'm not saying I never encountered situations where I could have gotten into a fight (my neighbors thought I was a dealer), but I tend to have a good sense of humor and defuse/avoid those types of situations, because I truly don't want to fight. I have nothing to prove to anyone. Also, I don't look or portray myself as a victim OR a tough guy.

 

shhh he might come back.:rofl

 

Did you notice the smile at the end? It was said tongue in cheek not to put you down. Also, you are an ankle,three feet below a ****!
