    You can always train. Much more fun and useful than plain exercising.

    Get past some gym wars to be known and respected there before talking about "if" you can do it on a higher level.

    I have now started training at a boxing gym with the assistant coach there.

    I am learning a lot, enjoying heaps so much so that sometimes I don't wanna stop training but ofcourse we all have other commitments.

    Hopefully I will improve and keep on improving further.
