Work on that foot work, keep your chin down.

I frown on this, what happens if the kid breaks a metacarpal, trust me that sucks not matter what age you are.

He is a better boxer than me so I say:
Kill it with FIRE!!!
Or perhaps a sword duel would be a better choice as "there can be only one" Ivan Drago!

But seriously I frown on this because of the ramifications for the kid when he gets in a fight with other kids his age and gives some poor kid a concussion or a broken nose. He is three and will do what he has seen and been taught, he doesn't get the problems with it as he is too young to have developed those regions of the brain yet.

And as a boxer he might never develop it, too many hits in the noggin aint good for the brain

Pro Boxing is much more dangerous than Amateur, which is more about scoring points. Like fencing.

Carbon Leaf - The Boxer comes to mind.

No return. No passion left to burn.
The Boxers grow weary.
Their eyesight...blurry, blurry view.

Yeah I'm not sure this is a great idea, but people do a lot weirder and crazier shit to their kids, and at least he's going to be physically fit.

When kids are trained in eastern martial arts, there's usually a side-lesson about restraint and responsibility. Most martial arts have an underpinning of spirituality and a code of conduct. There's nothing spiritual inherent to straight-up pugilism; it's a sport (designed to hurt people.) I hope Dad takes time to teach his boy not to pulverize the other kiddies for fun on the playground.

You better send them to the east. If you've ever been to a studio in the states, it's a fucking joke. Too much cry-baby parents to really discipline the kids the way they need to be to get any effective results. And all that spiritual bullshit is just worship in one's self-control and abilities. You don't need to be fed that karate kid bullshit to have that.

@rottenseed: I totally agree, respect for other people is taught primarily by one's parents.

Hit the face!!!!!!

it aint right, IT AINT RIGHT !
