GO FOR IT!!!!! I used to box as a kid and have nothing but absolute respect for anyone who puts on the gloves and climbs through the ropes,male or female.

See how you find it. It takes a lot of skill to get that far. If you need it, I do have a horseshoe in my garage if you want to put it in your glove

"Lol no no I have natural power just poor foot work x"

I'll look to see if I can find another horseshoe and you can try one on each foot and see if that helps you with your foot work. It might help if they go the distance. 3 furlongs and over

It can be the longest 2 minutes of your life that's for sure!! Do some sparring, then you'll find out whether you like it or not, or are any good, anyone can batter a bag. Boxing ain't easy.

I think, you should keep your good looks, and just use the training as a form of keep fit. As for your trainer wanting you in the rings, lol, enough said, I'd love in your rings, wrong country, oh well....

I'm sure there are things you can do to improve footwork...particularly skipping.

If you're dedicated, you'll train hard..a lot of boxing is muscle memory, including footwork.

Good luck x

If a fight breaks out with others would I be a wuss if I stood behind you lol

But seriously, well done on keeping the discipline to get as far as you have. I think you know in your heart what you should do, because to get this far your heart is the one getting you through all that training xxx

Good luck in whatever you decide, I could always do with a body guard if you don't take up boxing

After all I'm only a train ride away

What a line from Rocky 5. I actually liked that film, I know I'm on the minority but I liked the story and the street fight was different. Hopefully will be on over Xmas.

Sparing and gym work is fine, just wait till you have been really hit with aggression by someone who is intent on knocking you into the middle of next week and we can have the debate again !!

You should wear a head guard if you have to go through with it, same for the men too.

Do alot of boxing, mainly thai with other styles of martial arts. If you want to improve your footwork learn ballroom dancing..... Bruce Lee advocated it and was a champion ball room dancer

when you mean your foot work do you mean you reaching or leaning in when either throwing a punch or defending a punch ?

what have you been working on to improve your foot work ?

no boxing is also an art form.

the art being able to strike your opponent without being struck yourself.

I must be a perve, wants you in the ring has a whole different connotation to me.

Seriously though, go for it. Worst you can do is try your first bout then decide. If nowt else, the training regime will do you the world of good.

Apparently, knowing when to quit/call it a day is a key skill.

its hard to judge without seeing it in the flesh however when a lot young kids first start they have poor balance at the point of throwing a punch because they are afraid of whats coming back at them if they don't land.

is it the same when you jab or when you try and unload.

It's more positioning my feet to recover and guard so if someone was to through and hit me I'd probs fall lol although it's not that bad x

i doubt its as bad as you think lol.

the ball room dancing tip is a good one but also whilst skipping try adjusting your feet and altering your stance from orthodox to southpaw and vicer versa

so that it becomes natural
