Kyle, just my 2 cents and I know I sound like an old prune saying this, but I think learning to box is great; the problem with actually boxing is not so great. There is too much data today that shows that even with protective head gear, the brain suffers short and long term damage. If that makes me a sissy, I will wear that title proudly. I will box in a way that keeps me healthy, not the opposite. That is smart in my opinion.

Hey Kyle go for it! If anything, your body will be in the most intnese shape you can put it in! At 42 I may be "too old" to get in the ring, but man do I absolutely LOVE the workout! Atgatt's right about the injuries so please follow the CARDINAL RULE: Protect yourself at all times!!sigpic
