snarkpit Posted May 4, 2005 Share Posted May 4, 2005 Hmm It depends on what you want and I don't see why regular boxing is harder to the head then Thai.. in the last one you have to worry about not getting a shin against your head:).Most kicks go to the legs. Boxers tend to take more headshots because, one they can only use their hands, so it's going there or the body, and two because a lot of times amateur bouts won't count body shots.edit: I should also note that there's nothing at all sissy about not wanting head trauma. I can't imagine many intelligent people who'd want to be punch drunk, no matter how much they love boxing. (And I'm not saying that every boxer ends up that way.)

SevenStar Posted May 5, 2005 Author Share Posted May 5, 2005 I was also looking at regular boxing - my only main concern (and yes it may sound wussy) is the head injury thing. I see alot of pro boxers coming out of the game not being able to talk right or walk straight. Is that a concern of any of you guys who box? Or maybe its just for the prosit's not that common, actually, especially if you aren't doing it on a high level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sandhoppa Posted May 9, 2005 Share Posted May 9, 2005 Thanks for the input guys, I'll still look into the boxing. I just think there are more pros than cons associated with it, for what I want to do at least.

It's like crack... GOTTA HAVE MOREThats great im happy for you, and hopefully you dont "gotta have more" of crack or even tried it to gotta have more. Empty your mind, be formless, shapeless like water.

Now water can flow- or it can crash. Be water my friend. ~Bruce Lee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
