    I dunno, I don't really know much about boxing other than what you can gain by watching it on TV. Anything I should do in preparation before I start, or is it just a jump in with both feet and get going kind of thing?

    How cliche!

    I did it for a while in London. WCW is the resident boxing expert. Holla!

    wcw is your source for hands. I've got elbows, knees and kicks covered.
    Start doing lots of skipping, and fast pushups. Practice keeping your guard up, as that's probably the most difficult thing for a beginner. It only uses a couple of small muscles and is really fatiguing when you start.

    you'll be doing a lot of conditioning and training before you spar. those 16 oz gloves get really heavy after throwing punches for a few minutes. boxing workouts are the best.

    16oz training gloves ftw. Definitely don't jump into sparring, you'll:
    a) get your ass kicked
    b) get frustrated
    c) continue to throw poor technique

    Hmmm, well my cardio is pretty good insofar as running goes. Sounds like I'll need to step it up a bit though.

    running helps, but you still need a lot of sport specific fitness.

    YOU'RE the cliche!

    No guffaw? <A BORDER="0" HREF="http://www.supercars.net/PitLane?displayFAQ=y"><IMG BORDER="0" SRC="pitlane/emoticons/sad.gif"></A>

    But I thought all military personnel had to do boxing when they started? How's the training going? Are you flying 'alone' yet?

    not all military is the SS

    Hmmm, I assumed since back in Pakistan and Dubai I'm sure they do. Atleast the officers do.

    I used to but then everyone got bigger than me.

    Burner probably is. Burner can do everything and do it better than you.
     
  22. #22 Wheelman, Oct 25, 2008
    No, officers don't have to do anything mandatory after basic, but if you let yourself go enough to fail your yearly V2-Max test, they give you the option of either sending you to RFT (fat camp), which is basically 8 hours of cardio a day for 6 weeks, or a voluntary release from the forces. So it's best not to let yourself go.
