So who does boxing on here? I personally love it. Great fun, teaches you discipline and keeps you fit

langy88 · 10th February 2012, 12:55

I used to do mauy Thai but I had to give it up because of work commitments, I regret giving it up.

Do you fight (in the ring) or just to keep fit?

Muay thai looks good

My mate has just got his pro licence afer ten years boxing, so he trains me all the time

No fights at the minute, will be soon though.

Did boxing for two years, liked it but got bored went back to karate

going for my brown belt in the next month or two, did like boxing good for stamina and keeping fit!

4 of my good friends are now professional boxers.

Not boxing but used to do a lot of Muay Thai and the occasional BJJ session..

It's great imo, very physical and strength based especially when grappling (it's so tiring)

Would end up with some absolute shiners from training never mind sparring, all very good fun though!

Actually starting back soon however finding a new trainer as my old fighting club has gone downhill apparently..

Something like Tang Soo Do or TKD would be great to implement into tricking! - See this!

Kickboxed for a few years.

Done MMA on and off.

Was going to get into it properly in the summer but I'm going to do Krav Maga instead, the ultimate to real fighting

Thanks for the link man!

Just starting it really, used to be a gymnast for like 11 years so seems easy to move to, however it sort of goes against everything i have been taught!

Good fun though!

I've boxed for 10 years! But been slacking past year..

Dizzy · 11th February 2012, 20:31

I do Muay Thai. Started out western boxing and got bored, tried MMA and couldnt risk the injuries so now I train pure Muay Thai. Hope to have a pro fight before the end of the year

This type of thing is what really pisses me off....

As far as i can work out most of the above are not 'boxers' or 'mma fighters' all you do is occasionally hit a punch bag or have a wrestle with a mate. No1 has gone toe to toe with someone with the potential to get knocked out.

Sorry to be seen to be havin a go but in life it seems if your not a boxer your a professional football player. Wheres karl pilkington aka bullshit man when ya need him.

p.s. I did boxing at uni last year, i trained. did bagwork, spa'd with other lads. Am i a boxer? No and neither are most of the above.

McGuire86 · 12th February 2012, 15:12

Who are you directing that at ??

I'm registered with the Amateur Boxing Association, licensed to box, had 5 amatuer fights, won them all

How am I not a boxer

I get what you mean in a way everyone and their goldfish are "Cage fighters" or "Do that UFC stuff" these days and that does annoy me, I have known people to come into my boxing gym, stay for one night and then never return yet start blabbing all over Facebook about how good they are and who they sparred tonight when I know they weren't there. Very strange that people feel the need to big themselves up.

Never, ever in my time boxing did I ever go to the spa with the lads.

Proper gay that. Did the bigger boys bum you in the mud room?

Me and the lads sparred, and talked about man things, like who's mum was the biggest MILF.
