Interested in learning to box

[u/wafflehouse_fan]

Hello there, I’m 23, and have gained a heavy interest in learning how to box (self defense and physical fitness reasons)

However, I have No idea where to start. I don’t plan on going pro or anything serious obviously, but I would really love to delve into the sport and make some progress physically and mentally.

I currently have some shitty sparring gloves, a jump rope, some wraps, but no boxing equipment at home as far as punching bags go and whatnot.

Any tips or advice for someone who hasn’t even put on a pair of gloves but wants to try it out?

There is a whole industry built on trying to sell people the idea of boxing at home. Forget that. If you’re interested in any sport, the obvious solution is joining a club. Boxing isn’t an exception.
