I really want to start fucking boxing but I'm afraid to get punched in the face. I'm 19, 5'4 and never been in a fight. No one ever fucks with me, so for a while I didn't see it necessary but, I see the benefits from a mile away. I'd most likely get super lean, which is good for my height, and I think I'd feel more confident in myself overall knowing how to diffuse a situation when needed.

I already lift, but I think this is an extra step I need to take.

Any tips on getting started?
