Where to learn boxing ?
-
errm in any case i'll most likely be joining farrer park. kadir just seems too far for me, but i think he shuld be pretty gd. no matter wat he is still a medalist. any idea how to start? just go down and start boxing?
-
ooh... have u went to check out the ferrer park one? is it good? im staying at woodlands area. so it make no difference whether to go ferrer park or kallang HAHAHA!!
both quite far... wats ur opinion on the ferrer park school? how much for the fees also? -
wah...very far for u also. btw i stay in jurong west almost can fight with urs liao. never check out farrer park before but i saw youtube video on their training and i personally liked it. cos they did quite a bit of sparring. my definition of a gd sch is must have frequent sparring...kadir i'm not too sure yet. u can try searching for singapore boxing in youtube

why wont you just do like school fight club?Originally posted by Rynax:I am interested in finding out where to learn boxing besides the one at farrer park(Kadir boxing school i think) is there anywhere else ???
i learned through experience during highschool -
It's not the same dude ! Boxing is not just about hitting a face/ body blows but learning how to absorb punches and avoid getting hurt yourself in the ring.I learned my boxing in the army where you just put on the gloves and beat the crap out of your platoon mates just like what you might do in your high school but at a competitive level be prepared to get clobbered also otherwise dont even bother to take up this sport.Originally posted by imDANIEL:why wont you just do like school fight club?

-___-, so you were in the army
i was trying to get you to start boxing through that stage.
i know what the reality is like. -
During my time there were no head gear for protection in amateur boxing and the rules were different.For example you could 'rope a dope' like Ali style where you cover yourself by not punching back until your opponent is all tire out and then you make your move,these days if you dont punch back and you look like you are in trouble the ref would count it as a technical knockout.If you remember how Ali fought his fight in Africa against George Foreman you would know what I mean.To me George is the greatest puncher ever,the knockout artist and the real King of the Ring not Ali because if you follow modern rules Muhammed Ali would have lost that fight.

But, man! Could Ali take punishment!
On the other hand, his development of Boxer's Dementia may have been due at least in part to this strategy. -
Take a look at another great puncher in the Heavyweight Division, Ken Norton who is now also a living zombie and if you want to talk about taking punishment then I would vote for Smokin Joe Frazier.Boxing is a dangerous sport and i guess for amatuers like us it should be OK but still dont forget to use your head when you box.Originally posted by eastpaw:But, man!

if i'm not wrong.. the old turf club opened a new boxing gym. The coach name is " alexis" whose was from combat academy.
Boxing is a sport , street fighting is not.

Hello everyone,
I do not know about the other boxing places/clubs , but ive been training under the ex national Coach Kadir and its been good :) Theres a lot of people from different background / countries that go there and overall the coach is a true professional who brings the best students to international tournaments. His students are ex-champions for gods sake...i even met the last singapore sea games boxing gold medallist who was under him...wow..
