    The one I was going to was $50 a month. We met 2 or 3 times a week, for a 2 hour session.

    I pay €20 a month, and my coach doesn't care if I can't cough up the money for a month. Unless you hire a private trainer, boxing should be dirt cheap.

    what stance should i teach my freind?

    a. Relaxed.
    b. Feet spread to side as well as back and forth.
    c. Knees flexed slightly.
    e. Hips and shoulders parallel to the ground.
    f. Body bent forward slightly at waist
    g. Non-dominant hip and shoulder forward.
    h. Chin down on breast bone.
    i. Look out of top of eyes.
    j. Lead hand held high, level with your eye.
    k. Rear hand held in, level with chin.
    l. Elbows held in to the sides.

    or ​
    Feet and Legs Position Lead foot- approximately 12-18 inches in front of the back
    foot and slightly turned-in (about 35 degrees).
    Feet- approximately a shoulder’s width apart. With a slight
    open stance (rear foot kicked out six to eight inches to the
    outside of the stance). This gives our stance balance and
    stability in all directions (i.e. against straight-arm and bentarm
    punches).
    Front knee-flexed but not bent.
    Back knee-bent
    Heel-raised slightly off ground so that you can slip a piece of
    paper under your heels.
    Balance – on the balls of both feet.
    Weight--There should be slightly more weight on the rear
    foot—about 55-45 split.
    Hands and Arm s
    "Lead hand high, level with your eye; rear hand in, level with
    your chin."
    Palms should be facing each other (almost like praying) with
    18
    a loose fist—this is good positioning for parrying.
    Elbows - tucked into the body.
    Forearms - perpendicular to the ground (elbows over the
    knees).
    Line of sight – between and over the gloves.​

    i get one on one training at petronelli gym which was haglers gym. it is free no charge at all. though petronelli will charge a percentage if you become pro which is reasonable

    Footwork and stance for as much time as possible. Then jab and right, still focus on mostly footwork. Left hook a few weeks later if he progresses well. If time is of the essence. Stance, jab, and right.
