Weekend of fun
Day 34+35+36
Its Monday and its been a long weekend! Saturday we had our profile videos done at the boxing club. We had some questions (given to us the day before) put to us and some video taken for our entrance on the night! I was really looking forward to this and had mentaly prepered all my questions in advance. Adding humour and honesty into them.... So i get there at 8am and they start filming me asking me the first question, i go off on one then he says: right that was great but can you answer every question in under 15 seconds...Apparently my 5 min speech was too long! Ok i said. But what came out was shocking! I am not looking forward to hearing it... it sounded retarded! Believe me it was suppose to be witty and obviously make sense. Now it does neither... boooooooooo
Anyway afterwards we had a 2 hour training session and at night i went to a party... i got pissed!! (boo again) gotta stop allowing myself a couple of glasses of el vino! its not good!
Had Sunday off! Weather was shit so i just watched tv all day!
Monday i decieded to have a week off my midday sessions and really focus on the boxing training when i get there... im getting to tired by the time i get there and the workouts feel a bit lathargic lately... it was a good idea and i really gave it some for 3 hours! We did sparring bag work and padwork in a circle training exercise for over an hour! it was intense! My group got told off for trying to kill eachother in the sparring rather than using our technical skills we have learned. I dont think i saw one block!hahahah just a million haymakers! lol Love it!
Apparently wednesday is the same so im going to do the same again and just do the one three hour session!
Peace

Another sarring session down!
Day 31+32+33
A lot more professional, alot more controlled. That what i got told at the end of my sparring session yesterday. I cut the cockyness out and just went to work. Never really letting the other person breath and moving well when they were throwing, I caught a couple of right hooks at the end when i was trying to see what would happen if i just blocked and didnt throw. NOT GOING TO DO THAT AGAIN. One thing ive found out is that even though its not really that painful, i dont like getting hit in the face!
I went for a big run Tuesday night and obviously did gym on Wednesday at lunchtime, Then boxing.
Thursday i played footy at night but didnt do anything at lunch.
Friday is going slowly. Im working from home so i havent been to the gym today. Gonna do my 8km run at 5pm so that i have done something today. Tomorrow is video shoot for our promo videos for the boxing event! Gotta look good so i shaved all my hair and beard (bumfluff) today.
looking forward to that!

can you ever be too over confident?
Day 30
Its a good question. I mean went you are stressed, worried or nervous you tense up and therefore have a higher chance of messing up. Its well know. Its proper science. So when i do something i like to do it with rhythm, with swagger and fernes... i might look as though im being cocky but really im just going through the motions! I can see how it might look and in a place where there is always somebody ready to challenge you it def is kinda dangerous! But thats what makes it fun! i mean being scared of being hit is pointless cas at one point you are gonna get clocked....no doubt about it! Once you realise your jaw isnt make of glass it does give you a certain bravado. And if you do get knocked out you aint gonna notice it till way after anyway so who cares. getting kocked out doesnt hurt. waking up does, but by then the fight is already over!
No sparring yesteday just a lot of doubles attack and defend while all the big guys did thier sparring. We get ours on wednesday... Two more people from my weight range were there yesterday and im def not worried about them. So all is looking good in terms of fittness and confidence i just need to find a bit more motivation for training again as its wearing off slightly! Im in the middle of the beginning and the middle of this training so i have nothing to look foward to and im already in a routine so its kinda hard to motivate myself. I think i hit the ground running a bit too quick and the amount of sets and reps im doing is getting a bit out of control. Its just quite daunting atm thinking about how much i have to do and how long it takes everyday. i mean my gym sessions at lunch are starting to get longer and longer and this week i have really hit a wall. today was really hard .
I did 10 min running and my pull ups(3 times 6 + 3 times 5 wide arms) plus 3 sets of burpies sets.. now up to 25 pushups 50 situps 15 burpies 25 squats 50 starjumps and 50 foot shuffles.....
and to finish off 5 lengths of the pool.. i m going for a big run at 5pm so i tried not to do too much!
date night tonight! Inception! sick..... treat myself to some popcorn! well deserved!
see you tomorrow and 2nd sparring session! woooooooooo hhooooooooo!

Rocky gives Rocky a black eye!
Day 29
So its Monday afternoon and what a few days its been! Saturday morning i went to boxing training and had my first sparring session. There were two of the guys i think are in my sort of weight group at training. When it came round to sparring our coach Rocky and these two joined in. I came off a bit better against the two guys.... ok im not gonna be modest, i fucking took them apart! Seriously! I felt good. My movement was good and my punching was deadly! I did however get far too cocky and got told of twice for it! I was just playing and just wanted to test my limits. It was fun aswell! lol But from now on i have to be professional and remember that everyone is gonna get better so stay in front from the beginning! Anyway i got put in my place by our couch. Abite i did give him a black eye!!! He represented India nationally and internationally for 10 years at bantamweight and is quick as lightning! I think i got a lucky one two punch in after some light sparring and then he decided to put me down! The next two seconds are a blur but i didnt go down and managed to stay up! god dam he was quick and landed about 5 haymakers right in my face! I did give him a quick cheeky look as to say is that all you got. Lucky the bell went and he didnt have chance to obviously say no!
Sunday i rested as the weather was shit so no surfing this week!
Monday was back in the gym at lunchtime but i was really lazy! Pullups,pushups,swimming and then i laid in the sun for an hour!
Looking forward to training tonight again and hopefully some more sparring!
ROCKY BROWNBOWA!

Footy tonight! Yeh!
Day 25
My god i hurt so much! I really do feel like im close to burning out.. the only thing keeping me going atm is that im so close to losing the last bit of my belly its crazy! 2-3 more weeks of training and good eating should do it! plus im now back playing footy most weeks that should give me the extra push ! Boxing last night was really hard. It was all punching, shadow boxing, bag work, pad work and technique... My arms were fucked! I really enjoyed the defending and attacking part. I have to stop blinking though everytime somebody throws a punch at me!! Big time! Its strange cas something is coming towards your head and your immediate reaction is to blink... but everytime you do so you miss where the 2nd punch is coming from and you get hit in the head! I find my punches (especially my jab) are very weak! i dont know if thats overtraining or im just a pussy... probably a bit of both! its hard t otell when your hitting a bag! well we will see when we finally do some sparring on Saturday...
So light session at lunch then footy tonight. We only have 11 players so that should be a good run out!
Viva la spania!
