First of all a bit of background, always loved boxing, trained in small doses over the years, bag work, shadow boxing, pads, never really sparred(couple of occasions a very long time ago)
So........ive enlisted in a white collar event after seeing one of my friends have a go. The bout is on 19th of April. at the start there was about 40 participants, all shapes and sizes, few women as well, the set up is a bit mad but its all above board health and safety wise(i think). The number has maybe whittled down to about 25 now due to people getting cold feet or whatever.
after a couple of weeks of getting a basic level of fitness for the group through some circuits, today we moved onto sparring. different partners each round, gym was a bit crowded with people moving around and getting in each others way but it was a good workout, my defence needs loads of work as i was getting countered quite easily which was SUPER frustrating but it is what it is and im there to learn as i go. I am the smallest person there so its gonna be tough but i just really really want to get in the right for a proper(if you can call it that!) bout.
i'll update my progress as much as i can and win lose or draw i will post the fight for all to see and comment.

nearly got my jaw snapped tonight by 16stone firefighter after the bell, unintentional but **** me it hurt
