About Amateur Boxing Questions? I dream to take amateur boxing. I am 16 years old, 5 "6 slim I ride 2.5 miles 5 days a week, so I'm relatively fit. I live in South Wales and know that there is a club Newbridge run by the father of Joe Calzaghe, but I do not know if teenagers do not train. Can someone please advise me where to start:)
I guess they train anyone with the desire and determination to succeed in sport. You are still young then set up and start as soon as possible We can give you advice here, but at the gym, you'll probably have better advice. I know it can be intimidating to enter a boxing gym for the first time, but most people that way, so just the bag and get in there. Good luck, man.
trainer myself, and I know that trainers love to see a young man who wants to box. I just want to present to the gym about 30 minutes before the start of the class and tell the person who manages the place, how interested are you and that you want. We like that. Boxing is a sport aggressive, do not Tippy toe around her. Go straight to him and let him know exactly what you want. You impress from the start.
