The late 90's was the last time for me. In this area most of the world class and local boxing gyms began shutting their doors. Even the traditional Karate, Kung Fu, and Judo Dojo's/ Studio's . Replaced by the MMA style fight training. I also at that time was assisting a local boxing trainer in training young boys at a local park gym. But that city came up with this lie saying we were training kids to beat up Law enforcement officers. And the incredible irony of that nonsense was the fact of almost all of us was IN Law enforcement, our goal was to keep the kid active and off the street. It left a real bitter taste in my mouth , especially when considering what it did for me and the success I have in my life today.... Most of those kids we were training with no guidance at home and the gym closed , ended up locked up , or dead. A sad testament to that cities racism and fears of the time.
