Chris and Martin could turn it into a business, but then prices will have to go up. But now everyone, also the poor people and children, can train because of the low costs. They want everyone to be able to train. Every now and then it happens that someone can't pay at all. He is allowed to train, and in return clean up the gym or do other things, till that person can pay again. It sounds ideallic, I know and it probably is. But that's our gyms' phylosophy and eh, yeah, I'm proud of that, and the boys for keeping this up.

And i'm afraid I'm not able to turn pro. I box almost for two years now, and am not a real talent. I have devotian, strenght, am not scared and according to the boys have a fighters' heart (they gave me my nick killerqueen ), that's why i'll come pretty far, but that's it. Besides, boxing here is too little for woman to get started as a pro at my age (almost 35). You'll have to be young and go abroad. It's even hard for men, boxing is just too little over here.
I'm allowed by our nations boxingfoundation to box amateur for exactly one year because of my age, starting this september with my first fight. I do plan to make the most out of it though, the boys promised to let me box as much as possible (i will fight again november). I'm aiming for the dutch amateur championship around april.
Good luck to ya KQ! Gives me some hope, I am a little younger than you and hope to start fighting next year (need to get in better shape first and other priorities right now). Glad to see on our forum.
