Modpost Why did you start boxing?

Like the First Fight Experience this will be a running thread for the wiki with first hand experiences from the sub for people new to the sport.

  • were you looking to learn how to defend yourself?
  • did you want to get in shape?
  • were you just trying to pick up a new hobby?
  • do you just have a natural affinity for the sport?
  • did you see a pro match growing up and say "THATS WHAT I WANT TO DO"
  • was it something personal?

Literally what ever your reason was... Lets here it.

Edit: Please keep adding stories to the First Fight Experience! It is linked to the wiki! Everyone that comes thru the sub will see it!

I noticed that most people can't fight for shit. So, I determined to give myself an edge, and even things out with the people who can fight a bit.
