Answer #1

Talk to them, tell them your desire but keep in mind, no matter what the decision - it is their job to Love you and look after your best interests…I wish you the best !!

Answer #2

Well I’m a boxer, my fists are powerful. I had this problem before, my parents didn’t want me to box, then I became a legend. If your a black belt in karate you must be very strong. I wasn’t good at any sport, I convienced them that I must be good at something. I tried every sport there was, and I still wasn’t good at any. My mother saw that my fists were powerful, and my father saw I had excellents stamina. I tried everything I could to convice them to box. I learned the rules, I practice every day long and hard, they knew they wouldn’t let me box until they saw how desperate I was from all the training. they changed their mind and made me train harder, I became an excellent boxer, I had fists made of steel. So show them how desperate you are to box, don’t just beg, work hard, maybe help around the house to earn money for equiptment. You must be strong. If you think it’s to dangerous then don’t box, but not to worry because the more hard your training is the more likely you would win. If you really want to box, it dosen’t matter if the gym is to far away, just box if oyur desperate.

By the, I always had a perfect little nose, and it was very sensetive, but after I boxed it was an ugly old witch nose, crooked and in bad shape.

hey you don’t need to give up you need to show your parents you love boxing. Trust me I box and my parents at first flippedout when I started but just show them you can do it

Answer #4

Why don’t you just SPAR instead? Or learn weapons? Or learn a different martial art?

Answer #5

I’m A Black Belt (Not In Karate Though) & I’ve Been A Black Belt For Four Years Now, So Since The End Of Primary School.

I Also Wanted To Do Boxing But My Parents Are Againest It Believing It’s A ‘Thug Sport’. So I Wasn’t Allowed To.

The Best Thing Is To Tell Your Parents Your Intrested In It. Maybe Ask If You Can Have One Or Two Lessons To See How You Will Actually Go, You May Find You Hate It. If They Don’t Let You Maybe You Can Try Another Martial Arts (That’s What I Ended Up Doing, Now I’m Doing Karate As Well)

Answer #6

Just say to your parents that your really keen to try something else other than karate and suggest to them what you want to try out in, which your case is boxing, and that their support would be great. I think if you tell them, it shows your responsible and wanting to take more control of your life by asking for their support so they’ll appreciate it.

Good Luck!
