Three things I wish someone had told me before starting Boxing

After 16 months of Boxing I want to share what I wished I'd known at the start.

First: inconsistent gym culture — it hits earlier and harder than the internet suggests. Budget for it practically and mentally. Second: the boxing gloves you buy first will probably be wrong — ask your coach before spending money. Third: feinting is the foundation everything else builds on, but it looks boring from the outside. Resist the temptation to rush toward advanced body shot before the fundamentals are solid.

first amateur bout experience is the reward for getting through all of that. It's worth it.
