Question
hi melanie, could you tell me ,is there anyway to to get a amatuere booxing licence without having to go to the same gym. as iv heard that you can get a licence and traing in any gym and still get to go tornoments

Answer
You can register with USA Boxing without belonging to a gym.  However, I strongly suggest that you find a gym and a coach to train you.  You will have to have a registered and certified coach work your corner in sanctioned amateur bouts.  Please email me at mel@amateurboxing.com, tell me the city and state you live in, and I'll send you a contact.
