i dont need my moms car getting stolen

Use a bus then.

[boxing4life]

i kinda thought about it but id have to get dropped off at the bus stop and the closest the bus can drop me off is a mile away from the gym which if you thought about it would kinda be a little dangerous walking a mile in a place in that area

Well, the fact is that most really good gyms with the more competitive members are going to be in bad areas. Competitive boxing, let's be real here, is a pretty blue-collar sport. So that's that.

As for the car getting stolen, that's a tough one. If you could find a nearby garage or pay parking lot, that would be good. It might be expensive that way, but if you were going to be doing serious training in the area, you might be able to negotiate a permanent space arrangement (which in addition to being useful would be pretty cool). Alternatively you could look at the bus routes in the area.

Boxing4Life, is this gym in Detroit? What area is it in? I might be able to give you some parking suggestions where your car would be okay. Also, think about getting a "Club" anti - theft device if you don't have one already.

As The Hammer said, most boxing gyms are in bad neighborhoods. When I was traveling a lot for my job, I would always try to find a local boxing gym to work out in while I was in town. I have been in gyms from Rhode Island to Cali, and more often than not they have been in tough neighborhoods.

man don't worry about it...unless u do something retarded or really have no respect, nobody will really do much to ur mom's car. now if u try stuntin on em, bumpin ur radio mean muggin em n throwin up some gang signs or something THEN u will get fucked up lol...but other than that. don't worry about it. plus make some friends there.

[JMonster]

[Cobra33]

Just be careful.These other people talking shit are idiots.I live right next to a major city and you don't have to be doing anything for someone to come after you.It could be a case of you being in the wrong place at the wrong time.Could you take a taxi there?

[itliangladiator]

No, but a better gym can help a fighter. If this place is what he makes it out to be...then there should be better sparring and teaching than the other gym.

Exactly and I agree with this, but I also agree that while he is just starting out, its not so bad to find a gym that is low key so he can get the attention needed to learn the basics, you go to a Gym like Kronk or Wildcard sure you get the training needed, but your on the back burner until you get yourself somewhere.
atleast with a low key Gym he can take what he gets from there and bring it with him when its time to move to the next level.

And I agree with you too. I didn't know he was just starting out.

hahah, what's your idea of a bad area????? I've been to many area's of NYC were people shoot guns off for fun......forget about it, night time rolls around and you got the real punks on the street and if this area is anything like the areas I'm, talking about, then YES you could get shot...
as far as getting mugged if he doesn't have valuables??? Valuables to real street people are the tee shirt on his back, the sneakers on his feet, whatever is in his gym bag....
Where are you from, Iowa???? you don't really know too much about city life.

Oh yeah, these PUNKS do not fight either so don't say, "get tough" or whatever you said...they simply shoot, stab ya...that's it...no "hey ya wanna box", hahaha...

I've been to areas that aren't great areas to train at night like Little haiti in Miami and it's fine....there is some crime but it aint bad and people are generally ok to white guys, but these other areas I'm talking about are not good areas for a white guy to hang out late at night....simple as that.

Be smart...train in the afternoon if you train there and park where all the other guys in the gym park...that's the best you can do and you'l probably be ok, but if it's truely a bad area then train in another gym...there are great gyms in ok areas.

if ur 2 pussy to walk through the ghetto then quit boxing. btw heres a tip for walking through the ghetto mean mug everyone. most of them are juss sellign wolf tix

so according to this, to get thru a bad neighborhood in NY, u need to be black! i dont remeber who the starter of this thread is, but there is ur answer. If ur black, ur ok, if ur white, change ur color.

i have a feeling this person never went to a ghetto, just trying to sound cool online... i dont ge twhy people are proud to be from the ghetto, im proud of being from a middle-class family, i wouldnt be proud of being a low-life thug.

[BRICKS]

stop being a pussy. if you arent in danger of getting stabbed while out running then you are at the wrong place. go buy a piece of shit car no one wants to steal then your fine. havent had my car stolen but someone did back into my car and try and run off.

[JMonster]

if u act scared u probably will have more things to be scared of...u get it? if ur walkn around all scared lookn then someone might pick on u just to be funny or something

[Cobra33]

Some of thesr people have never been to a rough area in there life.

ok, now lets not argue if the US or England has worse areas... thats stupid. You should be argueing over who has the nicer areas... the bad areas do nothing good for the world...

lol i was joking dont try to act tuff. especially in a ghetto you will get shot up.

[JMonster]

the link is old just to let u know, but i assume everybody does understand what ur tryin to establish. i'm from Ohio, n i saw it pop up a lot in the top numbers (actually low but u know what i mean) so i would listen to my advice. dont' even stress the situation or think negative things, all that is going to do is just ruin ur workout at a good gym that u really wanna go to, ya know?
