I have a question.... probably a very good question, for the sake of safety and health concerns..... I do not doubt the ability of the boxing coach to teach me how to box. When I go to the city .... how do I know if the boxing coach is certified to teach boxing ...so that I do not fall into the wrong hands and get injured during training or boxing sessions. I know there are some licensed or not so licensed boxing gyms....obivously the YMCA would be my first choice that comes to my mind but if YMCA does not have a boxing gym for that area then how do I know if the boxing coach is the real deal with certification and training. I thought that would be a good question to ask. Maybe that question does not get asked that often on the forum.
