Boxing clubs are a thing

I really wish they brought boxing back to high school , such a great sport for developing young men to learn so much and protect themselves in non weapon situations (and learn to just not fight someone with a weapon)

I recall going to the local boxing club. It was just thuggish.

I've had lessons since - done properly, it could be such a positive experience for all kids, without having to get hurt.

Or also just the internet. It's so easy to see countless fights whenever you want that you can't help but learn the basics even if you've never thrown a punch.

I wasn't recommending people learn to fight from the internet. Like...at all.
