BallaHolic30 Posted September 28, 2006 Share Posted September 28, 2006 If you wanted could you just go to a tournament and sign up without being registered at a gym somewhere? I think boxing would be a serious rush. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DLine06 Posted October 14, 2006 Share Posted October 14, 2006 Absolutely not. If you have to be taken up into boxing by a coach who is certified, get a boxing book that has a personal picture by you to prevent juicing your record and a second photo in which I forget what happens.

That would be really fun too. i am a really laid back person and never get the chance to get fired up. I like stuff that gets my adrenaline going so it sounds like a lot of fun. Where could i get into that kind of stuff. Without moving to some yankee school:thumbdown: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you box by age, or just weight class? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
texastech10 Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 its really neither lol, ken is an old school guy, he kinda reminds me of mickey on rocky. he built a shed next to his house and made a ring himself, he has 3 bags and a speed bag, me or u could walk in there today and he wouldnt care who we are he would just give us gloves and tell us to start hitting a bag... he makes no phone calls or nothing he just lets kids come in there and hit bags. throughout the night he walks around and help u, after going for a few weeks he will throw u in the ring with another guy around ur size to spar with, he does all this for FREE. once u have been awhile and decide to box competively u pay the 35 bucks and he will take u a tourney. give him a call though, best thing i ever went through, it made me very mentally and physically tough, and its fun... just call him and he'll explain everything Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
