I have two young relatives (one boy, one girl) who have shown an interest in taking it up- they are too young to compete yet but would like to try training. Ideally they'd learn a bit of skill and self-defence, some sparring would be good but not to the extent of beating the snot out of each other (they do enough of that already). Sheffield/ Rotherham/ Chesterfield area. Any recommendations would be welcome.
There's loads in Sheffield but I can only comment on any I know enough about Manor Boxing Academy is a good gym, based in Sheffield Ingle Gym (About 10+ yrs ago) used to have a good class on a saturday and sunday for people who are young which I went to, but if the kids want to have amateur fights it never seemed to have the best set-up for amateurs as their attention was with the pros, as you'd expect
