It just seems so natural to me now i was sparring again today and i leaned back when my opponent rushed in and i caught him with a counter right and knocked him down, i was able to exploit my opponent's weakness of rushing in making him off balance by leaning back. Sorry if i keep making threads of my day to day sparring sessions but it makes you feel really good inside when all the practice and hard work pays off.
Good to see things going well for you. My bro in law has a punchbag, I was on it the other day and felt good. I might start getting back into boxing. A lot of my cousins do it.
I suggest you do it mate and if you don't want to have fights or etc, you can just do it as a hobby or something like that.Quote:

Obv i dobt I'll reach that stage but it gives me motivation that there's no reason I can't be successful. The earlier the better really.Quote:
