Any other boxing tropers here?

I sure want to learn it.

Fuck the speed bag. I want to kill it.

Oi. I'm a boxing troper. I had an interesting thought: anyone else want to make a useful notes about boxing? I've tried to start one before, but I didn't have time to actually go anywhere with it.

C'mon, MMA has one and boxing is everywhere in media and influenced damn near everything. So wheres the love?

Has anyone read Hajime No Ippo? It's a manga about boxing and it really makes me want to learn boxing.

>Manga

>THE Western martial art

:/

That's a very narrow perspective, don't you think?

Used to box, gym closed, surprisingly few in Boston that I can find online at least. Especially when you're looking for a special niche of: technique focused, serious, willing to accept the fact that I am more focused on the whole grad school thing than a career in fighting.

Long time fan of the sport here.

To answer a question from earlier in the thread, I've toyed with the idea of doing a boxing page a few times, but it's too big a project for the limited time I'd have to devote to it. That said, I'd love to help contribute to making one.

I keep looking at boxing (JUST BOXING none of this mma stuff). But finding a place to practice/learn/perform is hard in the midwest. It is not exactly a widespread sport anymore.

If anyone's still down to get a boxing page up, I'll contribute.

Bumping this because a friend of mine has an article about a recently-passed Olympic Boxer. Anyone who's interested in boxing technique, give it a look. I'm more of a Muay Thai person, but I'm pretty fascinated by what's going on in boxing. here.
