Do any of you guys box recreationally?

I might start up next year as a side thing for fun. How much does equipment cost? (Not trying to go amateur or pro or anything like that)

I was thinking both. I was thinking of possibly putting a punching bag in my house but I would like to join a gym for sparring. I live in NYC area so I'm pretty sure it isn't hard to find. I just want an estimate on how much I should expect to spend.

Depends on your area. You should start off by finding a gym to take lessons at and see how it fits you first, then you can think about getting equipment.

Find Yoel Judahs gym.

If you don't plan on sparring it's literally free

I wish I inherited my dad's strong jawline (chin), my jaw is way smaller than his :(

Do you know the basics--stance, punching technique, footwork, defensive skills, etc? Wrapping your hands? If not, I'd invest in trainer to teach you those concepts. No use practicing flawed techniques.

You're going to want a speed and heavy bag at minimum for a home setup + a big ass mirror and jump rope. Hand wraps and gloves obviously. Shouldn't run you more than $250.

Thanks, I have training in karate. I do have a black belt in karate and that's the only time I have done sparring. Nowhere near the athlete I was when I was a late teen though. Out of shape, atm.
