Boxing

[Palimino]

I've been thinking about taking up a new hobby, considered the whole karate thing but everyone is doing it, so I came up with boxing!

I would just like to do it as a fun activity, nothing serious.
Would like to know from anyone here who has done/is doing boxing what I will need to start with, how intense it really gets, how was/is the experience and if you know of any good places I can check out in Cape Town.


Dankie Baie almal!

Think it over. I am skeptical of female boxing. Consider - when startled or under threat (triggering instincts), men will cover their genitals and women, their breasts (protecting the most sensitive parts of their anatomy). When fighting, according to traditional rules, women must not hit ‘below the belt’ (where it would be painful for them but not crippling, as with men) but must pound each other on the chest (the most sensitive portion of their [women’s] anatomy). Imagine a male boxer being continuously pounded ‘below the belt’. I think woman’s boxing is a male spectator sport (like mud wrestling What about female vanity (about their face)?

Stuff and nonsense! Rubbish! Poppycock!

Boxing targets. The face is out. Women’s vanity – broken noses and cauliflower ears are not considered attractive. The chest – being hit on the boobs is painful. Chest is out.

That leaves the stomach. This is speculation but a women’s abdominal plumbing is chockfull of reproductive whatsits. Normally this is robust enough, but I would be wary of constant pummeling. That can’t be good.

Aside: medical opinion holds that if a woman’s fat percentage drops below 15% of total mass, they stop menstruating (women athletes complain of this).

So, targets you can hit with any force = 0

If you absolutely need to tussle, might I suggest judo?
