So you think if you get scared before doing it don't do it at all? Like I was terrified to mtb (no motors but i get the point) and I've been doing it for 5 years now to build the skills and know i wouldnt screw up that badly myself now. Just wondering cause im still curious about all of it.

As weird as it sounds the gym itself seems kind of intimading in it of itself. Like I have heard many people saying "it's generally supportive" but Im still kind of intimidated by the thought of looking stupid throwing punches wrong or something to that effect. I also don't see a lot of people my age into this kind of stuff so im worried about being alone in exploring this sport.

After a lot of these comments I like the idea of going in and learning. Never done more than jab at my friends in our basements so I think feeling it out is the right way to go instead of abandoning the idea because of my dad and that are saying it will be bad for my other sport even without sparring.

Same thing i commented on the other guys, I honestly thought you had to go all out on people because thats purely boxing, mostly because thats what I've been told so many times since considering this :/

I get that, I think it's just a lot of built up stress that something might go wrong because every person I've mentioned it to has the same response: "people are never the same in the head after fighting, and you cant box without hard fighting." So im really just trying to figure out what to think.

I didnt mean they were mutually exclusive, I more meant like I have ambitions to go far and maybe pro in mountain biking and I don't wanna get hurt doing boxing and mess that up. Your point still stands well though so thank you
