Question
Well obviously you can see from the title... But i am 17 and a female, i live in Kentucky and i have never boxed before. I would love to learn, and become an armature then eventually become pro... But the question is how do i do that? Also... When can i train, and approximately how much money does it cost? I know i have allot of questions, but i won't bother you too much i just need to get on my feet.
Thanks for your time :D  

Answer
Take one thing at a time first.  Personal instruction just one on one is usually about $30 per hour for a quality trainer.  I offer some video instruction on my website that if you watch you can learn the art very well www.boxingdoneright.com You can look for a USA Boxing certified gym in your hometown, but unfortunately I am not familiar with that area.  You can go to boxinggyms.com and perhaps find a gym in your area, but once again you might want to learn some of the basics first, because you can also pick up some bad habits from a gym if no one takes the personal time for you.

Thanks,

Joe
