Getting into Boxing at a later age

Go for it. But dont listen to what anyone says on here or anywhere else either. motivation comes from within, not from guys on the interent. A great man once told me 'don't worry about what anyone else is doing, worry about what you're doing'

I lived in Santa Monica in the 80's when the only gym around was VIP in Venice Beach (Hearns trained there for the Hill fight).

Now there is more than a few including Wild Card West (owned by Shandling and Berg) and boxnburn owned by the former British bronze medalist.

I've heard of both those gyms. Box n Burn is around the corner from me, and I've walked past it numerous times. Wild Card West is also pretty close, and I know Canelo Alvarez trains there.

I wasn't sure which one would be better.

Hey man martinez was 20 something when he started boxing you need dedication and devotion it doesn't hurt to try although I know a couple of pro boxers and they usually go to school or work part time also as a sparring partner work Is cool

I currently work in property management and this is a 24/7 job, but luckily a lot of these gyms open at like 5 or 6am, when all my tenants are asleep and can't bother me.
