    I've hooked you up with a link specific to boxing gyms in that area through our own listings before, and they are that, boxing. Associated with and registered with boxing ontario. Even suggested I could dbl. check them to see if they are active on the boxing circuit. They may not be exactly in that area...but are in the GTA and it is more densely populated with gyms there then any where else in the province.

    Can't help you more then that. But anyway...I'll link it again.

    Just a piece of advice. When you do find a proper boxing gym it would be wise to humble yourself a bit and not walk in there and tell them that you've already taught yourself everything and are ready to spar.

    Chances are that if you've been 'home training', no matter how careful you are, you've developed some bad habits. It's best to show up to the gym as if you've never thrown a jab in your life and ready and WILLING to learn and absorb everything your trainer tells you. The slowest progressing boxers at my gym are always the guys who think they already know everything.

    QFT.

    Also if you act cocky they may put you in the ring with someone that you arent prepared to be in the ring with. :P

    I don't know about you guys but at my gym when we get a cocky guy who isn't open to learning, my coach just sticks them off in a corner and has them hit the bag or shadowbox endlessly and ignores them. They get a fraction of the coaching that the rest of us get, and rightly so.

    Youngblood- yup and that has been a great help. I've been using it since you sent it to me. It's just Toronto is a big place and they all seem to be on the other end.

    Others- I made absolutely sure to act like I hadn't thrown a jab before. I walked in there thinking, "I want to be like a perfect student: humble and obedient." I didn't say nothing about my home training or anything. I made myself sound perfectly new to this but extremely interested in competing.
