Hello people. I hope this is the right forum for my question, if not I apologize right now.
I have trained at a new boxing club a couple of times and while the trainer is friendly and has good credentials, there is stuff going on during training which didn't feel okay to me.
First of, nobody is wearing headgear. I know there is no consensus on whether or not they are necesary, but isn't that a sign of an iffy gym?
Also, I sparred right away, first practice, without gum (stupid, yeah) and...
Is this a good boxing gym?
