Anyone here into Boxing?

[MaGilicuti]

I want to get into boxing and I can't figure out how to get started. Been looking around here in North Jersey but no luck. Anyone know how I can get started at getting into this sport? Not really an anabolic question but I dont' any other place to post this question.

There aren't any gyms in n. jersey? go to a gym where boxers are trained. let someone there know you wanna learn. boxing trainers will usually spend good quality time with you if you stay dedicated. good luck with it.

can't seem to find a gym where boxers train...

They have fights all the time in Totowa, NJ...that's up north. Go to the fights and ask the boxers there where they train.

Go to a real boxing gym (if there is none where you live you'll probably have to drive a ways) and train for a few months. Most have one hour classes of boxing workouts as well serious competitive training, all taught by boxing coaches.

Then if you want to get seriously into competition you will need a boxing license and start training twice a day, usually some running and weights in the morning and then specific work at night like bagwork, sparring, etc.

I have played virtually every sport in my life and IMO, boxing is the most brutal, violent, and exhausting training, hands down.

I recently started kickboxing. I'm not interested in full contact, though...it is great cardio and an interesting alternative to martial arts.

Contact you local PBA, they run the gyms that supply most of the golden glove fighters.

thanks everyone for your help. i'm familiar with totowa so i might look into that. will look into my local pba as well.

been interested in it for awhile but couldn't find out how to get involved. my stamina is really really low so i better work on that in training before stepping into the ring

Absolutely no doubt about that bro - boxing is THE ultimate test of physical and psychological strength, the ring can be a very lonely place and as for the training even Tyson said that the easiest part about boxing was the fighting! The stamina required is incredible as anyone who's ever been in a street fight will know that most fights only last a matter of seconds yet afterwards you feel absolutely knackered!
