starting boxing??

cos!!

alright?im 19!!no its very late to start!!but is there anywhere that would take a complete beginner??mostly just to get fitter the odd spar im 75 kgs thats middleweight yeah??

MBC

Maybe too late for olympics and stuff yeah, but defo not to late to win a Novice title and from there maybe an Intermediate.
You would start off with the Novices, this is for boxers who are aged between 17-34 with less than 5 fights.
After your 5 fights you would move up to the Intermediates.

Most clubs take beginners, where you from and I'll try and put you on the right direction for a club???
And yes 75kg is Middleweight.

cos!!

yeah think the olympics are a bit out of my reach!!ha!cheers for all that info though!!im in palmerstown (dublin) i know theres boxing clubs in lucan and clondalkin!just down the road!!they any use?

I'd try lucan if i was you as it's new club and has mostly beginners at the moment so it be great for you. Karls a sound sound lad so you'll be very welcome , i'd say he'd be a strict trainer but an excellent one cause he was a excellent boxer with a good boxing brain. Best of luck anyway.

cos!!

cheers for that!thanks!!yeah gonna give him a ring tomorrow i think!!

Closest clubs to Citywest are Westside Boxing Club Brookfield and Golden Cobra Jobstown - run by Bill Stacey and Paddy Hyland respectively. Great clubs, facilities in Westside excellent recently refurbed, Golden Cobra struggling currently looking for a site to build a gym but have some high achievers in their ranks.
