    Ladies Boxing in the US about to get better... Do you think that boxing is a good choice for a Ladies?:)

    I don't agree with you, because I am training traditional martial arts and I am sure that this a better option for a girl.

    Good to hear this.
    I'm a big time follower of most women in sports which are underrepresented.
    I hope this has a cascading effect on women's boxing worldwide.

    It's interesting. I have no problem watching one man break another's nose or bloody up his face, or knock him out cold in the ring. But the thought of watching a woman doing that to another woman gives me pause. Have not yet watched such a fight, but may do so just to see what it is like.

    I've been a fan of Indian women boxing for several years now.
    Been Watching Mary Kom win championships.
    I guess each person has different thoughts about it.

    I don't have problem with boxing and I'd love to watch it, but what is unnatural for me is when I see a girl how she is boxing...

    I don't say that girls shouldn't training that kind of a sport, but boxing is too rough for girls, instead they could try some martial art skill like Wing Chun, Aikido or Taekwondo.

    The beauty in martial arts is that you learn to fight, think and look gentle in the same time. :)
