How risky is it to learn to box with vision problems? Is it possible to learn real boxing, meaning with sparring, if you have myopia or moderate astigmatism? I can't stand feeling so insecure about my body and my lack of willpower
>>250634I'm short sighted and i do kickboxing, it's not a problem, the distance where you throw punches is close enough, yeah you might be at a small disadvantage but it's not like you're aiming for world championship. If you're really worried do grappling instead.
>>250634my vision kinda sucks, the honest answer is that it depends. You're not going to need super hawk vision for anything, you're not looking for them to clench their first in a magic death punch or nothing. If you can see their body and the general twist of their hands, that's gonna be sufficient.

>>250634You can adapt with training. Naoya Inoue sustained a cut during a boxing match against Donaire, which impeded his vision. He compensated by gluing his right hand over his compromised eye, which he learned from watching Donaire himself when it happened to him in a previous fight. webm relatedPrior to getting eye surgery, former interim UFC champion Justin Gaethje was almost legally blind.>20/60 in one eye and 20/200 in another eye>far sighted in one eye and nearsighted in another eyeHis fighting style at the time reflected this. He used a forward-pressure style with a high guard and relied on taking hits on his forearms and wrestling with his hands to know whether they were close enough to hit.
