Learned some stuff, but really, is more just so I can throw a towel over my shoulder and it be legit with amateur boxing rules.
That's a scary thought, that anyone who possesses that piece of paper can become responsible for the lives and safety of anyone who's interested in taking up boxing. Of course, there must be people who go through it and know what they're doing, but I shudder when thinking about the rest of the people, and by your estimate is more than 75% of the class. :-\
Anyways, congratulations on getting the certification. You can learn a lot from being in the corner just to help out, and I'm sure it'll give you a unique perspective as well.
