Basically what my title says. I've been wanting to box for quite some time now, even got myself down to proper weight, but I still haven't joined an actual boxing gym. I'm currently enrolled in a BJJ gym that has Muay Thai and Boxing Fitness, but they currently are not actively training boxers to fight, even though the head Muay Thai coach has had extensive training as well as pro fights as a boxer/muay thai fighter. They compete in Muay Thai and BJJ, but for the few straight up boxers that I've spoken to (the ones that show up to the Boxing for Fitness classes), the gym primarily looks to go to smoker events instead (Smoker = unsanctioned amateur boxing fight, ie sparring match vs another school). During the Boxing Fitness classes, the coach does focus a lot on technique, but should I be looking to join an actual boxing gym if I plan on competing? (Yes, I do indeed plan on doing amateur boxing.) Thanks for any and all inputs!
Just added info: I'm currently 28, 5'2 and 133 lbs, looking to achieve at least 5 amateur boxing matches in the next 2-3 years.
