Amateur boxing has been called beautiful, brutal, artistic and scientific. Amateur boxing will test the spirit of young athletes. Recently young women have shown the desire to participate in the sport. Presently there is no clamor for intersex matches.
Many young athletes, male and female, in Arizona have displayed the spirit and desire to learn the manly are of "self defense". They understand they must be tough, able to "dish it out" and "absorb" punishment. They must be quick afoot and must have hand speed, think clearly and have endurance.
It is very important to select the gym that has an experienced coach and trainer. A good coach will not allow his boxer to be overmatched and a good trainer will teach the boxer how to "polish" their abilities by shadowboxing in front of a full length mirror.
