Question
hi im 1m about to turn 15 am i too old for boxing?
Hi Tenzin,
No you are NOT too old for boxing. In fact taking up boxing in you teens is a perfect time to begin. I am not familiar with the amatuer boxing rules and systems of your country but finding qualified coach in your local area would be a great place to start. If you plan on competing be sure that your coach and training location are recognized or certified by your countries boxing license or oversight system.
Good luck with your training and thank you for the question.
