Nah mate, they are good though from what I hear. Top of the ratings in amateur boxing for Sydney gyms.

Yeah from what i saw the place looks really good and they have trained some pretty decent fighters i've heard - its only a 20 minute drive for me and i didn't really know it existed till recently, makes me so happy to know that i can finally start going to a decent boxing gym cos they are seldom found Sydney. Will start training there as of tomorrow hopefully; im just curious to find out how the sparring and classes works.

Or does he teach any class at all?

I think he might occasionally run some classes when he's in town. He is away on business in Russia a lot of the time though. Head trainer there is his brother-in-law Igor Goloubev.
