If I pick up boxing, will it also help with my anger problem? I'd assume it'd be a good stress reliever

lol is that you toe rogan

no bro thats a really intense environment and if u have anger issues then u won't do well there. you should take brazillian jiu jitsu instead. you will become humble and learn to control yourself rather than let it all out on somebody

...

This for literally any martial art that's still actually martial or semi-martial. Those of us with the power to do harm have a responsibility to restrain ourselves and not abuse that power. It's one thing to magdump into the guy you found trying to rape your wife and entirely another to put some kid through a wall because he said something that hurt your feelings.

I don't know about boxing but hitting a heavy bag is a great way to relieve stress

it'll make you humble in the short term when you get your shitty attitude pushed through your face.

BJJ is gay

Boxing is really fucking dangerous. Almost any other form of hand to hand combat is a meme in comparison.
If you have anger issues it is not a good idea. You'd have some lethal shit literally in the palm of your hands, and you could use it without thinking if someone made you upset enough.

Too bad Ippo is now the one who is going to remain sit

yeah, it's a good outlet, and you'll learn to control your emotions at the risk of punching yourself out within 2 minutes. and actually having a good trainer and sparring partners that you become friends with feels great.

Bah, boxers use big head protection things plus 16 Oz gloves, it gives you brain damage worse than being hit with a fist. Plus how much the punches slow down because of huge gloves just makes you angrier. I did Muay Thai for 2 years and that's much better

You won't learn to box because your a lazy faggot.

OP here. Thanks for all the recommendations you guys. No matter what decision I make, I hope that I can be a better person for my friends and family in the end.

No good instructor is going to teach you shit if he pegs you as an anger management case. Better for business just to physically exhaust you with drills and give you no skills. William Cheung and Bruce Lee used to fight every Friday night with other teenage idiots. Nobody died, you know why? Their teachers kept them busy but never taught them to put their hip into it because the teachers had all just come out of wars and just wanted money and good kids off the streets.
>the punches slow down because of huge gloves just makes you angrier
yeah nah. A pro will hit you with those gloves and rip your brain out of it's dura.
>I did Muay Thai for 2 years and that's much better
I started training in 1987, have travelled the world, there is no better but there sure are McDojos. I've seen a Bagwa 'combat tai chi' guy smash the shit out of an angry kickboxer. The kickboxer changed his ways and became a born again christian. Some of us just need our bones broken to wake the fuck up.

Muay Thai isn't kickboxing. I don't know what you have been training since 87? Boxing is not going to help you protect yourself on the street, after training Muay thai, sparring with 12oz gloves and evading kicks, punches, elbows and knees from semi professionals who fight Infront of audiences the boxers thought I was a "street fighter" I have been in several streetfights as a teenager but the boxers sense of reality was dangerous. Then I tried MMA and they were just rolling on the ground rubbing there dicks all over me. Nothing will beat Muay Thai stand up game. Boxing is for idiots. I will head kick the fuck out of boxers and then hit them with a series of sharp elbows

lmao you runtlord
if you went any proper boxing gym you'd realise that everyone there comes from the streets and wants to use it 100% in real, which why they're always full of niggers. don't bother with boxing you soft poofter.

no

Where are all of the legit boxing gyms? All I see in my city are $200/month boxing themed cardio classes geared towards women in their 40s. Where the fuck do I go to put some real time in with a coach and everything?

>elbows on ribcage
>chin tucked into sternum, looking ahead through your brow
>fists up around your face
>legs tip to toe, slightly less than shoulder width apart
>throw your hips into your punches
congrats you now how to box better than 85% of any random shmoe you'll meet on the street, all that is left now is for you to get into shape

Only seizing to identify with your thoughts wil help you

It's good exercise and a lot of fun. Thay said, even light sparring is very intense at first psychologically. If ur looking to just relieve stress, avoid real sparring and treat it as a workout that teaches u how to throw a punch. It's fantastic for that, and hitting a bag is a great way to vent steam

Think of the first few months when you will get your ass handed to you, constantly. Will you be able to handle that? If so, then go for it, it gets fun as you get more skilled.

Likely they have v low exposure online. Also likely to be in rougher areas. The way to find legit training gyms is to Google good local amateur tournaments (or even pros who came from your area) and finding out what gym they trained in.

i don't think project niggers or Dominicans will allow me to train with them in their private gyms, $200/month boxing themed cardio gyms with middle aged ladies it is then

You're stupid man

if someone said something that hurt my feelings I'm gonna say something back, and I'm gonna keep saying shit until I'm satisfied. I might even threaten and shit, but there's no reason for me to escalate it. If the person shoves me or lays their hands on me, I'd come back and shove as hard as I can to make them fall to the ground, then be ready for a fight. If the fucker starts getting close I'll be ready to counter, but won't actually start hitting until the fucker starts swinging. If it's a girl I'll keep shoving and pushing (like boxing but you don't snap your punches, you stop right before it hits them then push).

If it's a guy from the streets or even an office guy who doesn't know how to fight but still throws shitty punches I will try not to knock him out, but instead make him fall down on his ass.

your range is mainly mid.

I'm white as chalk and I train with niggers and pakis in an area that had the highest gun-violence in the country
train like a pussy and you'll become one

where do you live? some cities in the us are a whole heck of lot more racially polarized than others

>$200/month boxing themed cardio gyms with middle aged ladies it is then

Just do Muay Thai then or BJJ. Far whiter there than in boxing clubs. Don't train with soccer moms.

Figuring out why you're angry would be more beneficial.

Anger is rarely, if ever the primary emotion. Anger is a reaction to another emotion, typically fear or sadness.

Solve your issues, instead of teaching yourself to hit when you're mad.

>if someone said something that hurt my feelings I'm gonna say something back,

>Not just shrugging it off like a man.

seems to me like u just watched a few videos lol. do you train boxing?

nice fantasy you have over there bro, ur a real tough guy

How probable is the accumulation of brain damage? I want to get into boxing too but not if it'll fuck me up long term

i mean it's always something you need to consider, but it's unlikely you'll sustain anything major. most of your time as a beginner will be spent doing drills and working on form on punching bags, conditioning, etc. And keep in mind that sparring shouldn't be full on fighting - it's TRAINING. anyone way above your skill level should not be throwing bombs at your head. Protect yourself at all times and you'll be fine

Yes
t. angry boi who does boxing training

Everyone wants to use it irl

Could be a brit

Where do YOU live? I live in the south and have never really had any major race issues

Yeah, it’ll help with anger, but so will any combat sport such as wrestling or judo. Conflict is a natural aspect of life and a healthy outlet and understanding are good things to have

brain damage was amazing little thing to see

Let me save you the trouble. Ippo has a great rival whom he never fights. After 1000 chapters of ups and downs, he retires without becoming world champion.

He's really not wrong tho

former carded amatuer here

Youll lose all your gains

Neck pain and headaches aren't fun

Concussions arent fun

do it for a year, keep sparring to a minimum. Have a fight or two for the rush of it if you want

Then quit and stick to bodybuilding. I put on 15kg of muscle after quitting boxing.

I still have power and remember technique but also big and strong.

Also former carded amateur here. I agree with you 100%.
I'll also add that I was a very angry young man, and instead of boxing being a good outlet for my aggression, it just fueled it. I lived in a bad part of San Francisco and got in so many stupid fist fights over shit I could have walked away from because I knew with almost 100% certainty that I could starch whoever was antagonizing me in under 20 seconds. I'm lucky I didn't end up in prison. It took moving from SF to Montana and having a couple years of positive interactions with people for my anger to mostly subside. Your mileage may vary.

if you have anger issues don't do boxing or even any martial arts. people who are angry and go way too hard fucking suck at partners.

Will it help your anger problems? Yes, you will get beat up so badly that you will become humble again. Eventually you will master your emotions and become more zen. Will you lose your gains? - If you train seriously (Which you need to in order to really experience boxing) you will absolutely ruin your gains. Brain damage is a real thing. My short term memory is still fucked from 2 years of Muay Thai and Kickboxing matches. And this was 2 years ago already.

>I'd assume it'd be a good stress reliever.
only if you punch on a heavy bag.

>being unable to handle a angry beginner
Stop being shit

>William Cheung and Bruce Lee used to fight every Friday night with other teenage idiots. Nobody died, you know why? Their teachers kept them busy but never taught them to put their hip into it because the teachers had all just come out of wars and just wanted money and good kids off the streets.

...this has to be the stupidest fucking thing ive ever read...

You aren't a man if you let your emotions get the better of you and hand over control to any passerby who can "hurt your feelings".

If anybody but those who are closest to you and maybe those you respect and look up to can possibly actually hurt your feelings then you are an over-emotional little girl.

street fighting is a fucking meme. The best """street fighters""" are 110kg + and will sucker punch you first and then just keep hitting until youre unconscious

any martial art against a group is very limited. You are better off running for your life

most people looking for a victim go out in groups.

Carry an item to stab them in their eyes, or be big enough so that they think twice

Martial arts are best in a ring with rules, not when lil trayvon sucker punches you/stabs you from behind

What's this meme about losing gains? Most boxers are ripped.

dont be a pussy and just do it
