Hot Meat 3,109 Posted April 3, 2014 Report Share Posted April 3, 2014 Sounds worth a watch, my lad been pestering me to take him to a boxing gym for a few pointers, he going to stay with my mum during school holidays and she has arranged to get him to one a few times whilst down there in Wales. What's deal with boxing gyms? Are they private , members only? Or is there any where you could spend a week or so training at?? Only gyms I've ever been in where school gyms and army gyms lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Hot Meat 3,109 Posted April 3, 2014 Report Share Posted April 3, 2014 (edited) It's summat he really wants an he being doing kung fu for 3 years, but he has realised that even the Chinese and japs used western boxing to make there martial arts better. So he wants to learn boxing from a proper boxing coach now lol but thing is it'll only be for a week maybe 2 at a time, as far as I know there are none local so I won't mind going out my way to get him into one everyday for a week say, then he can just practice at home or in the kung fu gym. The gym in Wales is a family mates so not sure if that's reason he been allowed to attend fir two weeks. Is there an amateur gym that's better than rest??
