CC.. Thanks for your input as well. And exactly, anyone under 20 that asks if they are too old is just crazy..
It all depends on your goals, but 90% of the goals in boxing ANYONE can work at to acheive. Not everyone has to want to compete. Like any sport. Like when all your friends are playing football or going bowling, do you even once think about age.. No, you just want to get in there and have fun!!

There just seems to be this big strange mystical thing surround boxing and what age you should start... I can't think of any other sport (including any other combat sports) where there is just a stigma that you have to be a certain age to start, or else your over the hill and shouldn't bother. I mean you just seem to ask it yourself.. It doesn't even take someone else telling you you're to old.. You put it on yourself and looking at it compared to anything else, it just seems crazy...
But anywhere, there it is, and that's why I started this topic.
