Open class is better than I did.had my first at 19 but by 22 I hadn't been in any championships and was still only classed as a 'good novice' Nowadays seniors start at 19 but are now called 'elite'and youths is 17 and 18 but the head guard rule seems to change every season. They didn't have novice championships when we boxed did they??
One week, Won by First KO, natural slugger. Had no real idea what I was doing, just an angry young man told I could legal beat the daylights out of someone.
