Boxing club says no!

[Master]

I managed to find the number to a local boxing club, and I phoned up to ask how much it would be to use the equipment and they said I couldn't join as it was full, unless I actually wanted to start boxing which is fair enough I guess but it just surprised me, I thought they would say to me come down and have a look around or something.

I really like the idea of boxing but I think I would be really terrible at taking shots to the face, although I would love to learn how to take care of myself, I guess it's a double edged sword.

I could have been a contender, if they could not hit me back

When I was boxing, the guy that ran the gym was sick of weekend warriors who would turn up, lack the application or discipline to keep it up, get in everyone's way and waste whatever instruction he gave them.

I'm not saying that's what you are, but if you were to ring him a couple of times or just turn up and watch once or twice, he would probably think you really meant it and let you in?

In other words he thinks your a tourist.
