They'll have they're work cut out trying to break me LoL. I'm not exceptional but I'm good and strong and never been down in 25 am fights, 10 kick boxing bouts and 5 Muay Thai. LoL they'll have a great time!

Thats actually why it was recommended to me. If i go over there for two months before next years nationals, use the altitude to get to peak and avail of some different training the plan is to be fitter than anyone.

I assume some areas are better than others though.

Was a guy in my club back in Japan who was a relative beginner and less than 60 kg who went to train for boxing in Mexico. I didn't get to talk about it much with him but he came back in one piece so I assume he wasn't at risk of getting hurt.

Also as Scrap says be careful of altitude. I went to a high altitude camp for running once and wasn't allowed to run too hard of far for the first week. I felt really lazy but was told I'd get sick if I pushed hard too soon.
As I've been informed on numerous occasions I'm not white I'm Irish LoL

But thanks for the Info Sharl I didn no about that.
