Just wanted to say if youre a noob like me and are nervous about goin the boxing gym DONT BE. I went to my first session last night and it was brilliant. This forum and other sites are great but like the guys on here themselves say theres no substitute for proper training. The lads at the gym really friendly and helped me out alot and i love it so much im going again tomorrow night. So just wanted to post to say my experience was great so if your hesitating about joining your local boxing gym dont hesitate any longer!!!:happy There really is no substitute books can only get you so far!
