    And I'm not talking bout rejecting a rude person I'm talking about rejecting to training someone for amateur boxing because of their age or their lack of talent ?

    Happens all the time in all sports, especially for instructors who are in demand.

    I saw it several times actually.... people coming in because they were big, or they had street fights, or they watched Rocky one too many times.

    It’s their time. They can choose whoever they want to spend it with. It’s not a public service.

    Why don’t you just tell us your story? How old are you and what happened when you were turned down?

    Well to be honest my trainer at the time was not exactly the most patient of people and he was also the owner. He had been around gyms for decades and seen it all so he knew who was a time waster and who was serious.
