What kind of gym will give people a chance to fight

[Leftover40oz]

I signed up to a kickboxing gym a week ago and been taking the boxing classes there and gotta admit I'm disappointed in it...the gym seems to have a good reputation...but the classes are real mellow and I'm left wanting to do more...I feel like the teacher just can't wait to go home...there's people in the class that have been going there a year and It seems like there's no real sparring or intense work-even for them, we're all doing the same ****....I got to speak to one of the owners Before the class tonight and I asked how to go about trying to get a amature fight and he pretty much told me everyone in that gym that fights pays for one on one sessions which are 50 bucks an hour(which I cant afford Cuz of wife,kids, and a mortgage ect.) and he said "this isn't like a p.a.l. Gym".

So my question is do these pal gyms give people the time of day and opportunity to get into amature fighting?

I'm a little bummed I was told you gotta pay to play haha

50 bucks an hour just to train to go amateur? Lol.

Nah find you a good gritty gym.. some gyms have websites you can see what they are about there. You should never pay 50 bucks an hour for your trainer's time. In martial arts or boxing. Pay a flat monthly fee only. Also if you at some yuppy gym they usually suck unless some established fighter already trains there. Closer to the inner city is better. I never had a problem getting rounds in my gyms and going am was as simple as providing a picture and registration fee....

Funny part is I tried to sign up for 6 months and I guess he figured I wasn't rich enough to afford that gym so he cut me a deal on a 1 month...1 positive about the situation I guess....looked into another gym in a worse off area and it's totally free...they're only open from 4-8 everyday But it is what it is

My gym is free as well (it's a non profit), also only open from 4-8 haha. But we've produced the best fighters in the state for years (granted MN isn't a boxing juggernaut).
