    Just remember mate, you can learn a lot of bad habits winging it on your ace.

    You could find yourself spending most of your preparation time readjust1ng.

    A good trainer will hammer you over minor footwork or lazy styles.

    The next time you hear a fighter moved gyms, what ever the reason he has, you'll find most of the time, "adjustment" was the problem.

    Good luck.

    Yeah no worries. I've been out of hte boxing gym for a long time, and even when i was there i was only a beginner , so i havn't carried over any bad habit's, basically a blank slate. The only advantage is I'm picking things up a little easier than the normal new guy's.

    I'm pretty determined and i realize that it will take a good while just to get my footwork and punches workable, little lone smooth, but I'm prepared for that and willing to put in time and hard work.

    My only issue with my gym is that it isn't open 5-6 day's p/week, but i have bag's at home so it's all good.

    Mate, from where you are at Berkeley, you could jog to Crokers gym at the Dandaloo pub, or Joe Lopez at Windang just opposite & south of the pub. (Remodeled church)
    There's also Les Underwood at Oak flats,. Bit of a hike though.

    What's wrong with the PCYC mate?
    But yeah crokers would be the closest for you, done some sparring with blokes from there, havn't really liked their attitude ey, not real good sports haha.

    Good luck with your training mate.

    Is Billy still fighting Flash? geez, he shouldn't be in the ring with Billy.
    Be good to see him fight at the right level, I think Jun Dulog would be a much bigger step up than this bloke.
