Girls Boxing in Fethiye

[Old Daffodil]

Have you seen the article in today's Hurriyet Daily News about young girls learning to box in Fethiye. A man called John Hockton is training them apparently and they are keen learners. :)They seem to have plenty of support from their fathers too.

Thinking of going myself actually!:D:D

Has anyone else been headbutted or attacked like that? The only headbutting I have witnessed was by a couple of goats.

Did you tell them not to buttin' ?

I believe that this is the Fethiye Boxing Club and that it is for both boys and girls.

Good luck.

 What ages are the children and where is the club if anyone is interested? Does it cost anything to join? How often do you train?

I am asking in case anyone reading this is interested in joining you.

How did you get on in the championships?Just taking part is good!
