Why Boxing Can Be Good For Kids

What would you say to your child if you came home and told you that you wanted to try boxing?

Would your answer be horror? Most parents would feel that way and worry that their child could be seriously injured in the ring.

The truth of the matter is a bit different. Realistically, how many kids have you heard on the news who have suffered serious ข่าวมวย boxing? I think most people would have a hard time thinking of a case of this happening. I'm right?

The good news is that most boxing gyms take very good care of the children in their care and are usually not allowed to step into the ring for a month or so. The first month will be dedicated to working on posture, fitness, how to avoid blows, and self-discipline.

Most countries now insist that every amateur boxer, whether training in a gym or actually participating in a fight in the ring, should wear padded head protectors and mouthpieces to offer protection. Also note that your child will not be asked to fight children who have a large weight advantage, so the chances of injury are low.

Putting real boxing aside for a minute, have you considered the discipline and self-confidence that boxing can bring to a child's life? Not only will your child get in shape, but it will teach them many other skills that our schools seem to neglect.

Most kids who try boxing never get to the stage of fighting in a proper match and instead are content to learn a level of self-defense, self-confidence, and discipline as they get in shape and meet new friends.

In essence, boxing can be very good for your child's development, especially if she lacks confidence or is getting into trouble in the neighborhood.
