The Birth of a Street Boxer

Birth of Street Boxing Fighter

The moment you fall in love with a street boxing activity, the fighter in you is born. It starts in
your mind. You may have read a boxing book or an item in the sports section of a newspaper, or
have watched a fighting event in the TV or movies when you became interested or, at least,
attracted to such boxing. Your admiration may not be contained to just seeing the thing, but it may
have stirred up your imagination and you may have actually began to see yourself doing the feat
and becoming a champion at it. You may have researched more about boxing for the street game, bought
the equipment you need, and started on a journey to carve out a niche for yourself in the hall of
fame.

Some abort their fighting inclination by becoming mere sports fans. They love boxing and
sports heroes, but they seldom practice the game. Some people may call them “fighters” because
of their familiarity with and interest in the subject, but they are nothing more than boxing fans.
A boxing fan who is actually a fighter on the inside will soon work his way out to become the
fighter he admires and even excel at it. He will strive hard to outdo his previously
accomplished feats. This he does for life, with or without formal competitions.
If you decide to engage in a fighting career, start to “grow up” in it, acquire new
and higher levels of skills and agility (swift mind and body coordination), and later become
mature in the boxing game. Hard training separates men from boys (or women from girls), and you will
soon become known as a competent fighter. You will no longer be regarded as an awkward
neophyte in terrible want of speed, form, and accuracy, but you will be able to combine grace,
precision, and lightning pace without much effort. You will be able to judge and decide maturely
in the game. Soon, you will find yourself the chosen bet of a special group, and regular
competition will hone your skills to mastery. That’s when you begin to train other aspirants to be
like you. From being a “newly born,” you become a “father.”
