boxing lessons

[turnipmonster]

I am taking some time off of my martial arts training to take some boxing lessons. already in good shape, and there is a legendary gym near me (gleason's in brooklyn). they don't have anything about classes on their website, so I'm just going to go down there and ask them about lessons/training.

any tips? things to ask about, look for and avoid?

I've never been to Gleasons and am very envious. Please post trip report after your first workout.

There are already a couple of threads on this subject here (try the search function, n00b [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]), but if someone starts trying to have you spar right off the bat, they're likely more interested in you as gym fodder than they are in teaching you anything.

Edit: Try this thread.

thanks for the link, I tried searching but didn't find this thread for some reason. mods can lock this thread if appropriate.
