How harming will be this boxing or street boxing?

This is the worst idea I have ever heard, Alex. I don't think you have any idea how dangerous backyard fights can be.

This is the worst idea I have ever heard, Alex. I don't think you have any idea how dangerous backyard fights can be.

There is a reason that it is young men fighting after all, sense of immortality, lack of understanding of the long term consequences, and little concept that you can paralyze, kill, or otherwise main a "friend". Break a rib, or orbit, and you can lose a lung or an eye. Kidney punches or liver shots, all dangerous. Some people drive fast, some people drink, some people get into fights. Common thread: young people.

Backyard boxing can be more dangerous than a street fight. I know just how dangerous it can be as I have participated in them and my opponents get a little carried away and punched wildly and furiously. I suggest that you do your boxing at a gym and in a controlled environment for safety sake. In lots of backyard action there are no rules, and people tend to want to hurt their opponent instead of just enjoying a little friendly boxing action.

Alex,
If self-defense is what you want, then learn to run the four minute mile. They'll have to catch you first before they can throw a punch!

Well let's put it this way. 1 month of hard sparring in boxing. Or let's put it this way, 1 minute of sparring a month?.
