Learn to take a punch? Get a sparring partner and swing away. There's no learning, there's just taking. Do exercises on your abs to help absorb body blows, and do exercises for those neck muscles that will help prevent you from getting your head knocked around (see evander holyfield's neck). But there is no learning to take a punch, you either do it, or you don't. Sparring will help you understand what you're in for.
Reply:dude, just hang out with a tough crowd that fights a lot and eventually u will be taking punches and maybe giving them also........or, u can look for a fight club, they are usually underground but just ask around or just create ur own.
Reply:Why do you need to take a punch? In any case, street fighting (no rules) is nothing like boxing (lots of rules), is it?
Reply:throw the first punch simple youll smother your opponent with punches as he is offbalance to start with and you wont lose.


i guarantee it
Reply:its not really about hardening yourself up,you either can take a punch or you cant.

Reply:You can use the speed bag by letting it fly back and hit you in the face. That helps you learn to keep up your concentration after being hit. The other way is sparring. Start light and slowly turn it up, and soon you will be taking real shots. At 16, you really can't fight legally in any underground or backyard tournaments. So you either wait two years or do it illegally.
