White collar boxers put on a show

Not everyone comes to the sport of boxing in their childhood or teenage years so what do you do if you're a complete carboholic and wake up one morning in your thirties, forties or fifties (yes, it probably is a mid-life crisis but what the heck), and decide that you really fancy getting in the ring and having a go. Well, White Collar Boxing may be for you.

Ask any boxer, amateur or professional, novice or champion, how exhilarating and exciting it is to spar or box and they'll tell you there's no feeling like it. With White Collar there's no age limit but if you're between ten and twenty years old, you could have a future in amateur boxing. Just get in touch with your local boxing club. Don't think for a minute that you can just put on a pair of gloves and jump in a ring. It's not quite as simple as that. You'll need to be reasonably fit, and well (you'll be assessed by a doctor before being allowed to fight).

If you're interested in taking part in one of their sessions, whether for weight loss or to learn the art of boxing, you can arrange to go along to one of their taster sessions at the Fight Academy Wales in LLantrisant. Sessions are Wednesday 8.30 pm, Friday 8pm and Sunday 8pm where Jamie will be happy to take you through the session.

Boxing training is not for the faint hearted but if you're looking for a programme that is a little different from the norm then this sort of training is definitely for you! The average participant tends to lose in the region of 16 - 18 lbs after six weeks of training by sticking to Jamie's diet and training regime so the benefits are huge. Not every participant has to step into the ring, but after building your confidence and skill level this seems like an obvious next step that most of the gents seem to follow.
