Answer 1

Ask Layla Ali.

Answer 2

Of course girls can box!!! Females can do anything that men can do. Though some things take more practice for females than men, but it can be done. Don't ever question yourself about that, because everywhere in history there are females doing things that men said could never be done. As to where to go, I can't recommend, I do not live in the area. Maybe you could get a part-time job or mow lawns or something to pay for classes. Good Luck!!!

Answer 3

Yes girls can box! Check out www.boxinghelp.com and click on the 'gym directory' icon on the left hand margin of the page. It will give you a list of gyms in the usa by state and city. Most gyms don't charge a lot if you want to be a fighter. The best fighters are those who are poor, so a good gym won't charge too much cuz then they'll only turn out rich bums! Check it out, I swear you'll love it.

Answer 4

I'm 19 years old and training :) women can box but you don't see a lot of women that want to do it competitively just for physical fitness. I would love to do it competitively, I'm currently doing a bit of sparring but It's usually with guys that don't like to hit a pretty face. Most women that do box are not pretty short hair and they just don't look feminine, not to offend anyone but if women in boxing looked better they might get more recognition and that doesn't have to mean playboy lol

Answer 5

Yes, girl, you CAN box!! I think it would be great for you to get into this sport if you are passionate about it, i say go fo it!!
Being on Long Island, I would look up, or Google local boxing gyms around you and talk to a trainer there to get advice. MAybe they can work something out for you. You never know!! I support you on this journey and i think its great !! God Bless!

Answer 6

First of all, Good Luck in your journey and wish you the best. Try the Boy's and Girls Club closest to you, they usually train amateur boxers in their gyms or they can point you to the one closest to you and the most economical as well. On your own you can start by conditioning your body, with a proper diet and plenty of cardio-exercises for endurance. There's plenty of other things to mention, but will leave that to your gym. Of course girls can box, but with other girls. If you're really are interested, try it and you will like it, but make sure that your parents fully support you on this. Again, Best of Luck and take care.

Answer 7

I deffiently do! There tuff! Some female fights tend to be more thrilling then male fights because we tend to work harder.
Now I have to be honest. You can train on your own but you DO need some proffesional help. Find yourself a good trainer with experience in the ring...or maybe take up a teen boxing class.

Answer 8

hell yeah. especially italian women. my mom fights wit me all the time and beats me up shes raw. theres lots of places in new york to box. if u live in the good part of LI it will be expensive but go down to lower class neighborhoods and the projects and u can start to learn there for less $ and once u think ur good, get a job or something and go to a better gym.

Answer 9

I'm not sexist, but there are things women are good at and men should stay away from doing, as far as boxing, lets just leave it to men. I've seen women boxing and it's pretty boring. Just like Basketball, the WNBA sucks. Softball definitley for women, cause men suck at it.

Answer 10

Women's boxing is like women's basketball...it's kind of like when men do it, it's just not as exciting. It's just not the best expression of that particular sport.

If you want to box, the more power to ya. Just don't expect me to come watch.
