Should a 13 Year Old Teenager Start Boxing?

Taking lessons would be fine (conditioning, footwork, technique, etc.), but you're too young for actual sparring.

sure. some that age even participate in the sport either at school or other boxing events. everyone is weak or not as strong as they'd like to be when they start, but get stronger as you go along. just go at your own pace. you should really talk with a doctor before starting any major physical workout plan. if it's been more than a year, get a physical. then express your workout and weight goals. make sure everything is OK for such activity first. then, see if your school has any sort of boxing classes, sport, or other activities students can partake in. otherwise, unless you get a bag at your home, you'll have to join a gym that has one, and your parents would likely have to sign off on that since you're still a minor.

Even the very best boxers had to start somewhere...and that somewhere is at the beginning, where you will start.Just remember that,and take it with you through your training.All the greats where at one point,in the same stage of development you are.
