I've always wanted to go get some training in boxing, but I admit I'm always worried about losing teeth or getting cauliflower ear or something like that. Dumb,

  It's never too late! And you only get cauliflower ear from wrestling — never met a single boxer who had it or lost a tooth, at least not from boxing. It's the best workout you can get, even if you're just shadowboxing, hitting the bag, jumping rope. No need to spar or have any contact if you don't want either; I'd say 70% of the people at any gym i've trained at never entered the ring. But make sure you get proper instruction when you start, otherwise you won't get any of the benefits.
