I boxed a lot from 11-14. It was what my group of friends did for fun -- boxed each other as well as trained in a professional setting under a coach. There was this one kid in particular that was known to be a troublemaker. I was hanging with some friends and that troublemaker was there.
The neighbor (a grown man) was hanging outside when the troublemaker started trash talking the guy for no reason. "Put the gloves on and box me, p*y!" After about 10 minutes of that, the guy agreed. Punched the kid a few times in the head. He was done.
We walked down into town and the kid asked us how we got there. He had no recollection of us walking down the street. Scary stuff. From then on, he became even worse. Last I knew he was in jail.
I'll never forget that. The headaches I got after sparring were eye openers and I quit. Jiu-Jitsu is much friendlier in regards to your brain, but probably worse for your spine, elbows, and knees... Have to train something, though. Nobody should be the gardener in a war.
