Why would you want someone hitting you around the head?

I would really just like to get into the sport so if anyone knows any clubs i would really be appreciative. I usually have my head in books studying so i want to get into something active and challenging.

There is a boxing club in Haslingden attached to the public hall. I dont know if women go there or not.

you'll geta flat nose....lol

are the men just trying to put me off because theyre afraid of the women gaining some sort of power over them?

I probably already have enough anger to give YOU a flat nose, i just want to learn to control it so if u've nothing useful to say, why dont u just not bother saying anything?

Sorry, I can't understand why men want to box either. To be honest I am surprised it is legal to beat the **** out of each other.

The sport isn't neccessarily to beat the crap out of eachother but to out move eachother, metaphoricly a bit like chess. You don't neccessarily have to even hit someone to win a boxing match.

thats gotta be the dumbest statement i ever heard. but good luck in your search.

Have u ever watched the famous Nicolay Valuev? He doesnt neccessarily move very much most of the time, he just knackers out his opponent and then gets them with a few easy punches.

Obviously he has his size as an advantage lol.

I think i'll look for a group outside of accy anyway as im at uni in september and will thankfully be away from GobbinLand for a while

I am sure if you go down town late on a saturday night you will see a few women boxing...and you never know you might even end up in your own boxing match if some drunken idiot doesnt like the look of you..

blazey · 18-02-2007, 12:35

I've never even seen a fight in town in the places where i go.

Obviously nobody knows any clubs but if anyone does now of one and read this message feel free to PM me with the details. Obviously many of u don't agree with boxing as its a violent sport but how many of u vote labour and support the war

If its a case of controlled relise of pent up anger, frustration annoyences and getting fit then give it a go. If you cannot find one then why not a martial arts club that might work just as well.
