Boxing/a question regarding licensing

Question
i would like to become a licensed trainer. mi live in the new york state area in the bronx. are there any places where i can go to get licensed
Hello Daniel, You will need to take a seminar followed by an exam to get your certification. I am assuming you are talking about amateurs.You will need to go to a gym that has USA boxing ties as they should be set up to give the exam. I suggest calling or emailing Gleason's Gym in Brooklyn... gleasonsgym.net ....and ask if they are setup to give the test..... Every area has an LBC (local boxing committee). They set their own standards and licensing fees. If they cannot help you go to usaboxing.org and send an email asking about the procedure for your area.
Good Luck,
Jackson

Expertise
I can answer any questions related to boxing and training. I can help anyone prepare for professional or amateur bouts. My trainer/boss of 24 years is in the Golden Gloves Hall of Fame and trained the heavyweight champion of the world. Holyfield, Roy Jones Jr., Bernard Taylor, Billy Bridges, Frankie Randall just to name a few of the boxers who have passed thru the Southerns and/or trained at our gym.
Experience
I have been in the sport of boxing since 1984. I started as a boxer and advanced quickly. I was lucky enough to have some of the best sparring in the country with 3 top ten pros in my very gym. I am fortunate enough to live near one of the better boxing programs in the country. We have cultivated our facility into the largest Amateur Boxing Gym in the country. In the mid 90's I became a trainer for Golden Gloves. I train amateur and pro fighters. I have worked in many corners at USA and Golden Glove tournaments. I have worked corners in pro bouts on HBO and ESPN cards. My friend, boss and coach is the former President of Golden Gloves and I trained under his tutelage.
Organizations
I am a certified Golden Gloves/USA Boxing Coach. I am also a licensed to work pro bouts in several states.
