Slightly off topic but Bruce Lee only had one.

Ginseng will boost your immune system and Raw Manuka honey will back it up.
They are natural so easily absorbed by your system as opposed to man made stuff that claims the same but never delivers,also they still have life force energy in them because they havent been heated. Same goes for spirilina or barley grass which are all air dried so they boost your natural energy in the way nature intended and the benefits remain in you longer and aren't passed through fast like some man made vitamins which are a waste of cash. You need to avoid processed shit as much as possible. Fresh raw organic vegetables cut by you and juiced by you will have many benefits as well. As would a small hand full of pumkin seeds and sunflower seeds each day or so which both help fight off prostate cancer via their high zinc and other natural vitamin sources they have. Also when you eat an apple make certain you eat the seeds and chew them up. They are bitter and a nice measured dose of another kind of cancer fighting agent as they are a poison.

I find my biggest hurdles are that with a long torso, I am very susceptible to body shots. They were always my nemesis the few times I did spar. I rotate me palms in just a bit, to tuck in the elbows.

With left hooks and such how does one properly protect the organs? Also, with my height what defensive skills should I focus on? Seems like slipping and parries obvious, but how many ppl at my height could I potentially meet that would need me to weave and roll under shots? I still practice regardless...but my previous coach always yelled at me to work my jab, keep em at a distance, and stand tall

I love the 1-2-roll-2 & 1-2-3-roll-3-2

He's right, at 6 4 at 170 your jab is your best defence... Keep changing angles and keep busy with the jab, doubles, triples, even if its not landing it'll keep guys busy and give them fits.

Wanted to thank you all for your support and posts.

Unfortunatley my 1st four rounds of Chemo got my tumor marker almost to a normal range, but now the course of action is a autlogus bone marrow transplant + more aggressive Chemo. I'll be in the hospital 3 weeks, home a while, then back in the hospital another 3 weeks

Sucks, I was getting back into better health. Was at the gym again and had a renewed vigor for boxing...for life in general. Now, I feel like my opponent is one I can't even see, so how do I fight it?

The tests, the pain, the exhaustion, the depression. Sometimes I just want to say fuck it and let it be what it's gonna be. The thought of not having kids of me own one day to teach to box. To love nature, be a good person.

I'm at my wit's end mates. I feel like the fight has been sucked out of me through the longest rounds of my life, that never give much time for rest.

Where can I find me inspiration. To fight. To not surrender to this blood thirsty disease that takes us all before we are ready. The prime of my life, and that's what I'm fighting for.

Focus on the future and your loved ones. Life is always worth fighting for. There are no magic words I can offer but none the less I wish you well. Many people beat this terrible disease and overcome great adversity so it can be done. This morning I played with my grandson, 21 years ago his Nan gave birth to his mother whilst in an intensive brain injury unit at a local hospital. All the doctors said the baby and My Mrs would not survive and yet they did and that is why I call my grandson the magic boy. Hopefully you can draw some inspiration from this and I am sure everyone at Saddos is right behind you mate. Good Luck and keep us updated.
