Question
I'm 14 and wanna start boxing.But i have no place to train and i want to get in tournaments.What can I do
You will need to register with USA Boxing. Then you will need to find a gym and a coach. A good coach will probably not let you have your first bout (in a local show, not a tournament) until you've trained for at least 8 months. Please email me at mel@amateurboxing.com, tell me the city and state you live in and I'll send you a contact for your area.
