boxing class

-



One of the things I have been doing since return is extending my workout with my boxing class.  To say the least it is I am not your basic prototype class member, I am older than most of these guys fathers, and not as heavy as nearly as all of them, ---  and probably will not fight professionally (you can go ahead and make that a certainly will not).  Several of these guys have boxed professionally and plan to again.  

Mornings are my workout time now.  Used to be lunch hour.(well actually a long lunch hour- I stayed late at work to compensate )   Now that is not a problem and the workout a little more intense and the class not your basic lunch hour crowd- obviously.  




for your reference I am second from left, Manuel is the short guy in the front and Keith is the big bald headed guy back right.  He fights MMA.  My coach is fourth from left and between us is Shelly, a guy from my church.  yes it is a small world.  We did not realize our common interest nor our shared church until I met him at a church dinner.  (we had been going to different classes until one day one of us attended a different boxing class and lo and behold- small world.)

for your information, I am working hard at not losing my balance when I attempt combinations and really pay attention during defensive drills.
