Another week begins

We had a few new lads in tonight. the way we work it down at the club is new lads come on a Monday night, that way I can spend some time teaching the basics. When they have picked up the basics well enough they are invited to come on a Wednesday and Friday as well.
It has to be like this really as I have spent time on loads of lads since we opened, I take all the names and there (including tonight) have been 80 odd boys come to the club. unfortunately most don't stick it. the problem is that boxing is not what they expect, its hard work for one thing, and it takes a lot of dedication. A lot do a few weeks then don't come back.
But, if they are not tough enough to train, then they are not tough enough to fight. Simple as that, and experience tells me that you can never tell which boys will come good, i often get surprised by those who fall away and by those who stick at it.
Respect to those who stay.

I have heard a few complaints that some of the lads didn't get nick names on the main page.
Watch this space for later this week.
