My eight year old son would really love to learn how to box. I also think this will be good for him as it will teach him how to controll agression and give him a good base for fitness. I have been told that he is way to young to start boxing and must be at least 14. Is this true?

First of all kudos to you for wanting to teach your kid how to box. The discipline and confidence he learns will serve him well for the rest of his life. There's a boxing gym (or gyms) in any decent size city. If you think he's too young to start working out in an actual gym, you can go to the sporting goods store and buy him a heavybag, speedbag, some gloves, handwraps and a jumprope for a couple of c-notes. Get him to work out that--if you don't feel you're in a position to teach him the right technique yourself there's plenty of books and videos that can help. Again, props to you for wanting to teach your son to be a man. The world would be a better place if more fathers took responsibility for their sons' development the way you are...
