| Spoke with the trainer again today to talk over the finer details of training. Turns out he is only interested in training people who want to compete(not me), and is not willing to train someone who wants to do it for fitness etc... which i completely understand, he wants to train competitors, so we agreed that i should not start training with him. A little disappointed, but not alot i can do about it, so ill continue my current training. |

That's a bummer, cross. Is there any boxing trainers around your area that would be willing to train you just for you to work on your fitness and self-defense levels? I think that boxing has so much to offer, even if you choose not to compete. Besides, you still get the sparring work done in class, so you will always be learning something.

Unfotunatly not, i have tried both boxing instructors in my area, both have the same view on training. Competition only. |

Yeah it does. I guess you'll have to keep training on your own? Or is there a boxing gym you can go to periodically that's farther away?
Congrats on MOM, by the way - well deserved!

Maybe you can offer a trade - train him in some things you know, that he doesn't.
