The Manly Art

The boxing firmament still waxes enthusiastic, and attendances at the various gyms around town are still good and keen.

We took a look at the Takitimu gym recently and found plenty of youngsters getting on with the serious business of training.

Promising Terry Hunt trains on in the time honoured fashion with a bout of skipping.

Trainer Ray Gear checks the weights of Ian Herniman, Con Matenga, Stephen Kaa and Tom Tait.

Gloved up and straight lefting with Kume Kaa (right), are Kerry Baker, Derek Kaa, Jimmy Tureia, Peter Brown and Jimmy Tuhaka.

Regular PT is part of the training programme
