well would you?

Also, what's the harm in letting a kid join? No, you can't work with everyone all the time, but kids can come in a hit the bag, spar, etc.

Sorry but show me a guy who turns away membership dues and I'll show you a guy who needs the help of a business consultant.

I honestly don't get this. I mean, sure I've gone to the gym before and it was packed and couldn't get on a bag. But I either left or hung out until it cleared out a bit. I'd even help out by working mitts or footwork/shadow boxing in the mirror with the young kids and beginners.
Well, we only have one coach and he needs to concentrate his efforts on coaching those of us who compete. He's wasted a lot of time on kids who show up for one month and then we never hear from them again. The place we train, we only have it for 2 hours/3 nights a week. So we need to get the most out of our time there. Not waste it showing some kid how to jab only for him to quit because he doesn't like doing sprints.
Bingo,if your in my gym,your paying me money,you deserve my full attention. And if your acting like a fighter who deserves my full attention,I dont want to sap it off for a kid Ill never see again. I get a couple of calls a week from kids who never even show up,let alone are in it to win.
