hi, is boxing any good for weight loss...??
thanx :)|||Of course not!|||I've never boxed,but I was on the wrestling team.I ended up dropping about 30 lbs.Boxing is the only sport out there that conditions you more than wrestling.Its a very effective way to drop weight as long as you don't starve yourself.You can lose weight very fast in a sport like that.Mostly due to all the conditioning.After a while you might end up gaining weight,but don't worry.Chances are is that weight will be muscle and not fat.|||yeh but not for ur brain, run at a wall and bounce ur head off it, cos thats what it feel like even when u win, i love it, ended up with menengitus with it a 16, still love it, but too many friends with brain damage who i boxed with. try swimming and girls go to the baths|||Depends on your approach.
A lot of the 'conditioning' training that boxers do, is excellent for redistributing and removing bodyfat. If you do a lot of this work, at a level that allows you to stay active the rest of the time as well, then this is an excellent way to achieve or maintain a healthy weight.
If you are training to fight, then part of the work will be designed to increase your punching strength. This heavy, exhausting work will also INCREASE your bodyweight. By adding extra muscle tissue, the work that helps you to 'throw your weight around', also gives you more weight that you can use to damage your opponent with.
Overall, boxing is a good example of the idea that 'weight loss' is a good, or healthy, ambition. Training to be a boxer will make you HEAVIER, while it reduces your bodyfat and improves your stamina, confidence, balance, strength and agility.
Whether you are training hard or not, losing weight almost always makes you weaker.|||i did boxing for a while and can say that i didn't like that i was losing weight from it. i dont know if you are talking about boxing that involves sparring and matches like i did, or if you just want to do it for exercise|||yes! it really gets your heart pumping %26amp; a lot of thetraining is cardio %26amp; toning too. if you don't fancy the contact element try boxercise classes

Boxing????????????????????????
Hi, i am 14 years old, i want to do boxing. I am also in karate, but the problem is my mom, she is always yapping on about "Oh are you sure this is what you want to do?"
she is soooo anoying because she tries to convince me not to, just a few minutes ago she said "Im glad you like boxing, but you might get hurt, are you sure?" SHE ASKS ME IF I AM "SURE" EVERYDAY!!! she thinks i cant handle it! does she think im weak???|||Tell your mom that you want to LEARN the rudiments of boxing for self defense first and then the confidence, responsibility, conditioning,discipline that comes with it. Later, as you grow, all these added things help you overcome fear, weather it's getting up in front of an audience to address them or being interviewed for a job, this confidence is valuable in all ways of life, all from boxing and it's building of character and confidence. Tell her you want those benefits. I'm sure then, she'll understand. Good luck.|||It's a role of the mother to make sure you are just alright, because at such age, still your minds will make some changes with the decision you do.
So, if you really are contented to stay and do boxing, then convincing her is not a difficult methods, but make sure about this matter because if you didn't decide seriously, then what she said, "Oh are you sure this is what you want to do?", will be a right things that comes on her minds.
Doubts will always be their once you will not going to stick on the activities that you want to do.
Good luck

Boxing.......?
When did boxing become a sport?|||Boxing was a sport in ancient Greece during the Hellenistic period.|||airbob is correct.|||for a long time dude.|||boxing has been around for centuries ..bare fist boxing..some of the old boxing contests could go on for over 100 rounds but lord queensbury changed the rules ..and they are still in force today...|||Well the first records of it go back to Mesopotamia, over 4000 years ago, actually well before Ancient Greece. The Assyrians and Babylonians of Mesopotamia were the first.
Boxing became a big sport in England in the 18th and 19th Centuries, this was bare knuckle prize fighting. British fighters dominated for most of these two centuries, and most champs were British.
The Americans began to be successful in the late 19th Century, and gloves were worn from the late 19th century also.
Hope this helps.|||The word "boxing" was first used in England in the 18th century. In 1719,|||I believe this to be a question from ignorance rather curiousity.|||Sport ?? Jack Broughton introduced the science into boxing based on his skills as a Fencer. Fencing and Boxing use the same moves. If you remove the "weapon" from Fencing you can see the moves are scientific and the same. Broughton also introduced rules, the precusser to the Marquess of Queensbury.
Muhammad Ali being the finest example of a scientific boxer who had the brains to apply his skills.|||It has always been.
To my extent of knowledge, I don't think boxing was first designed for combat purposes.
The combat bit was probably adopted at a later stage.

Boxing...?
If you start of at a junior boxing club and when you get older, how/what do u have to do to turn pro?|||Get a pro license, a pro trainer, a promoter that is willing to put you on some of his cards and then all you have to do is commit your entire life to the sport. Sounds easy doesnt it.|||I 1/2 agree with Frank. I agree if you want to hit the top. But that is not true if you want to do it on the side. Most Boxers are guys who have a real job and Box on the side. It depends on where you are. My advice, is go to a near by club and ask them. They gladly will point you in the right direction. If I knew more about where you were I'd tell you. Look in your phone book, call up a club, and they will tell you everything you need to know or guide you to who does know similar to what I am doing. I will say though, don't do it unless you REALLY want it. Combat hurts. If you can't take real pain, don't do it. It is harder than it looks.|||basically you just have to be good enough and that means winning lots of contests as an amateur.|||just be motivated to box.but if your going to box you really have to be commited to the sport because boxing can be grueling and thats what drives the newbies away.anybody can be good at boxing but you just have to work hard and not give up and eventully you will get good enough and win some fights and maybe someday someone will offer you some sponsors and stuff.and like the people said up top jjust call your local club and they will tell you everything you need to know.they will point you the right way and get you started and along the way dont be afraid to ask them questions.
Boxing??????
ive been boxing for a while i will do anything please give me some workouts that will make me become a better boxer?????|||-start out with 3 rounds of jumprope, try doing criss cross and all that to improve your footwork.
-then shadow box in front of a full length mirror for 3 rounds, make sure your punches are timed right and work on your stance.
-then do 3 rounds of punching bag, every 15 seconds go all out punching for 10 seconds and do moderate punching for 15 seconds.
-then work on hitting the speed bag for 3 rounds. make sure you hit the right part of the bag and it has to make the same motion each and everytime, this is how you work on your prescision and target.
-after that spar or hit the pads with a trainer for 3 rounds.
-if you feel like it do 3 sets of 25 pushups and situps to finish up.|||I used to practice uppercuts with handheld weights, about 5 pounds on each hand. I dunno if it's bad for the joints, you should consult with someone smarter than me to find out.

Is boxing a hobby for you? Sometimes, I like to hit the bag.|||I am training to be a boxer. I have a heavy bag and some gloves, and I really want to join a gym but don't have the money. I like sparring with friends a lot. So yes, yes it's a hobby for me. I try to hit the bag every day and go to the gym. Unfortunately I'm sick at the moment|||I'm 65 now and until a recent car accident used the speed bag and heavy bag for years. Great cardio workout and fun too. Been involved in boxing for over 50 years and evaluating gloves for at least 40 years now. Have written many articles on gloves, glove makers and their history in that end of the boxing business. Learned glove making from Al Zimmer, one time owner of Spartan boxing. Have met and learned a little more from several glove makers over the years. Now, it's long from the one man operation and it's now a factory of sorts either in Mexico, or now China, Pakistan, India, Thailand that are making our pro gloves for us. Yes, boxing is a hobby and will continue to be.
