It's small things that make a day great. Here is what a brilliant day looks like for me. I had a lie in, 8:15am, woke up on my own rather than with the shouting or crying of the kids. The wife did the same 15 minutes later. Down stairs and a coffee in us. Kids... Continue Reading →
I box for fun, not getting punched in the face fun, but getting fit and having a laugh in a group fun. This costs me a bit of money, not alot, but when you add it all up, its not cheap. For example - In an ideal world I train 3 times a week, some... Continue Reading →
Hi everyone, sorry I've been so quiet, I've been recovering from the 8 week training program by eating everything in sight, it's difficult to write with a burger in one hand and a pizza in the other. In a heathy, balanced diet kind of way. (Just in case Anthony Carr reads this 😉) So here's... Continue Reading →
OK so if your reading this you probably gone through the last few posts that were the build up to this wonderful night. 8 weeks of training, ups, downs and ups again. I've focused on me and my experience through this, but every one of my experiences has been with one of the other 14-20... Continue Reading →
Ok so I've missed a week of writing. Don't worry it will come in droves after the fight, I've just been focusing on the doing not the documenting this week. This week has all been about the slow movements that have now been forced into my subconscious. Jab, chin down. Roll, guard up. 1, 2,... Continue Reading →

You guys and gals know how this goes, first I tell you about the bad, then I go on to the good. This weeks writing is no different. So here comes the bad bits. I'm taking pain killers almost every day. Not for anything major just a little muscle pain, mostly groin. This is down... Continue Reading →
Hi Everyone, this is another update on the trials and tribulations of my journey through an 8 week boxing program. First let's get the bad out of the way. We did some sparring this weekend. It didn't go well for me. I've used this image before, it pretty much sums up what happened. The good... Continue Reading →
There are only five weeks left until fight night, thats just 35 days before I'm in a ring with someone trying to punch me in the face and me trying to do the same to them. This realisation was a bit of a shock to me, even though I have a count down on my... Continue Reading →
OK, so real sparring started on Saturday, I'm feeling it today. It consisted of what seems like an hour of me getting punched in the face. Want to know a secret, I kind of liked it, not enough that I want it to happen often, but enough that I'm not too scared of it anymore. ... Continue Reading →
