12 year old fighting in Baltimore is intriguing. What age do they start and how much training do they go through before they let them get in the ring? Is there an after school program? There are so many kids that could benefit from this. Hal is a great guy and has brought a lot to the community. Keep the good work up Hal.
The gym is open monday-friday 6-8 p.m. Hal evaluates skill level and then puts the kids on a specific coarse of training. It takes much training before one is even allowed in the ring to spar. Safety first!
