I was overweight and out of shape. Now I'm fit and I compete. There is a guy in my gym that used to box. He was 65 and could whip our butts! Age has nothing to do with it. If you want to, go for it!<br><b>References : </b><br>www.sprucegroveboxingclub.com I started in my 20s. I was overweight and out of shape. Now I’m fit and I compete.

Boxing offers so much more than just self defense as it includes intense physical fitness as well as building self confidence. That being said, many people have found it hard to excel at the upper most reaches of the sport when they started later in life, but there have been success stories. Nate Campbell didn't start boxing seriously until he was in mid twenties and look where he is now? Undisputed lightweight champion. Another good discipline to give a try is jujitsu and or muay thai. Both will succeed in teaching you self defense and both will succeed in keeping you in top physical shape. I recommend all three if you have the time and resources.<br><b>References : </b><br> It’s never too late to learn how to defend yourself, especially when the medium is boxing.
