    someone in the Martial Arts forum a few months ago said something along the lines, he was about 25 and tried to join a boxing club but he kept getting refused cause they were saying he was too old and couldn't be taught etc. harsh. is that typical?

    Sounds like waffle to me. I've NEVER heard of a club that didn't welcome new members with open arms. Sure why would they? At worst, he'd learn a bit of boxing and be able to spar some of the yournger lads. Maybe he was asked not to come back cos he'd a bad attitude or something.

    I'd be very surprised myself if that happened. You always get some lads in your club & you know quite well that they are not really cut out for boxing but it doesn't mean that you just turf them out...... some of these lads go on to become great coaches or committee members & are essential to clubs. And its very funny because its these types of lads that are usually 1st to arrive outside the door waiting for the club to open. The doors of good boxing clubs/gyms are always open to anybody.

    Its like in the pro game, boxers would find it very hard to survive without Journey men, that is why they get so much respect from boxers, coaches, promoters etc because they are also essential.
