Dia Daoibh! You can start boxing at any age, it depends on your weight and strength... but children start competing at around 12 years old! We don't learn boxing in school but a lot of children are now taking up boxing because of Irish people like Bernard Dunne and Katie Taylor. We made the movie "All About Boxing" because a boy in our class won an All Ireland Title at Easter time. His hard training and dedication has paid off! Thanks for posting the comment, you must be getting holidays soon? We are on summer holidays here in 6 weeks, weather not much like summer though! Ms. Gilmartin's Class, Sligo, Ireland
