Joined a gym!

Well, after 20+ years of being a boxing fan tonight I took my first tentative steps towards being a boxer. I attended a beginners class at http://www.bradricks.com.au

What did I learn??

Well, in no particular order:-


It's harder than it looks.

I'm about 2 stone overweight.

My footwork is shizen.

My punches have very little power.

Throwing combinations is hard work.

I have to remember to keep my hands up.

Shared gloves are smelly.




But, I had a bloody good time and I'll be practicing my combos and footwork like mad til my next class on Wednesday.



In something unrelated, is anybody else experiencing the fact that this forum is running real slow?? It's really chugging on my computer...

1. Its prob your computer my friend...

And 2... Im glad your enjoying the sport..Stick at it and have fun..

Peace

cc for starting bud it only gets more enjoyable the better you get!! ;D

cc is right. And all the things you mentioned abou being harder than it looks is dead on. yopu knowledge as a fan will also increase exponentially the more you do it.

I often visit hockey mesaage boards, a game I've played for 30years... and it's very easy for someone to be an educated fan, but until you've actually DONE it, you can't possible know the subtleties of the sport. My favorite line ot those guys who think they know everything is, "I'll be you've never even HELD a hockey stick." Shuts 'em right up. ;D
