Any of you box? Or play around with it for fun? Perhaps even use it for self defense? I'm interested to know about how people use boxing in their lives.

I used to box back in middle and high school, now I mostly use it to stay in shape. I have only ever been in one fight, outside of boxing matches of course, in my entire life and boxing really helped me to not get my ass beat.

Why do you guys just ignore my super cool thread about boxing? Makes me cryy!

I box, I've been doing it for maybe have a year by now. Started out just for me to get in shape and learn to control my anger. So far I've been in 3 small competitions and won 2 of them. I love boxing and if I can keep my head in it I plan to make a career out of it, but I'm a long way from doing that right now!

i kickbox

I practice several martial arts and boxing is definitely my favourite. The best one for conditioning too.

I love kickboxing, I took a class for it and didn't appreciate it until later, I love sparring and sandbags too I really need to work out again.

I spar with my 14 year old nephew who has been using boxing as a way to cope with his explosive anger/violence. He's really nice and goes super easy on me haha but he very frequently knocks me on my behind. I have been wanting to take other sorts of martial arts classes though!

Honestly i prefer Krav Maga, it's more of a fun to practice and quite effective!

As a fellow fighter, boxing/kickboxing/MMA has helped me to relieve stress, be competitive, and lose weight. Sparring is so much fun, as I apply what I've learned. Heck, I'm the president of my University's MMA club!
