Training Diary: Week 5.1

BE aggressive.
Thats the advice I've been given and to be honest its something I agree with.
Ive been too frightened of hurting someone and lets be honest, isn't that the whole point of boxing?
So from now on I am a mean, lean, aggressive fighting machine!
Anyway, after warming up boxing coach Crain took me aside and did some one on one with me in the boxing ring.
He started off getting me to move about by throwing punches at me and keeping me on my toes.
It went really well and I could really feel my footwork getting better and my movement around the ring.
We then worked on my jabbing and keeping my hands up after i've thrown a punch.
We then worked on body shots and transferring my weight from leg to leg to throw a mean hook.
All in all it was some very valuable one on one time.
I then did a bit of light sparring with another partner for a few minutes.
With Crains advice of "be aggressive" ringing through my mind I was determined not to be pushed about this time.
So from the off I was more in  his face using my jab constantly to attack and keep him off me.
He got through a couple of times but there was a definite improvement tonight which is good.
For the first time I actually think I may make this alive...

Anyway, I will have tickets on Sunday so let me know if you want some!! Need to shift at least 30!
