Hiya
I would say that if boxing holds an interest for you, then you should go and try out some clubs, the fact that you don't want to compete should not hold you back, you may find that once you start and get the bug then this may change in time. Would agree that may be this should not be said up front, but the clubs in Canada may be different to the ones in the UK, so I say go and see what you think, unless you step through the door and have a few sessions then you will never know if boxing is really for you or not, I would say (although I have limited experience of wing chun) that you will find the boxing experience different and knackering! :-)
I would not throw away the idea of self defense, I think you will find that boxing will help in this area and help build your confidence. Anyway hope you do find a good club.
