19th June

7 rounds skip

2 rounds shadow

7 rounds on the heavy bag. The last 2 rounds the coach came over and did 2 drills of a combination. nearly killed me in this humidity

4 rounds double

2 rounds sparring.
sparred with an older guy who is a friend of someone I work with. I think he just wanted to test me out so his friend could tell my colleagues if I was any good or not. We went at it fairly easy and my coach made me work on parrying straight punches then throwing back over the top.

The headguards are getting on my tits. I am fairly short so I train to fight from a fairly crouched position with my chin well tucked in. But with the headguards I cant really see properly like that so it means the punch is almost at my face before i see it. Consequently I end up either trying to tilt my headguard back or fighting straight backed with my chin up so I can see better.

First of all nice blog.
Secondly, have you tried Top Ten headgears?

Never tried them. The gym suplies the sparring gloves and the headguards. All the headguards are by winning. I do have a small head though, its a nightmare getting hats to fit. Especially here in japan where everyone seems to have a huge head!

Top Ten do small headgears and although they may be a bit plasticy and lacking in protection somewhat, they really aid you're vision.

I need to get a good headguard myself.

Ive been teaching PE over the summer holidays. Only managing to hit the gym about 2 times a week. Havent had any time to post my training log.

I am doing a bit less in the gym at the moment, mainly from being too knackered from work and the intense heat and humidity. One of the pros passed out from heat exhaustion last week and had to be taken to hospital in an ambulance. Very scary indeed.
