BOXING


I tried a new fitness class, boxing. Been a long time since I did fighting, but the lush aching you feel after is amazing. Pete (instructor) is one of the best there, really good. Spoke to some of the people and several of them had been going regularly for 18 months! I did Tae Kwon Doe from like 13 to 16, but then I stopped cause I got so demotivated and frustrated after three years.


Came home and straight away orded some AmPro boxing wraps for your hands. It's to support the wrist (or hand in general) and the knuckles. You have them on underneath the gloves or without gloves.

I've always found boxing an exciting sport to watch, so easy to get dragged into the excitement. Last year we got, at least I think so, the boxing film Warrior.


An inspirational and exhilarating roller-coaster of a film, Warrior centres around Tommy (Hardy) - an ex marine haunted by a tragic past, who enlists the help of his estranged father (Nick Nolte) to train up for the fight of his life. A former wrestling prodigy, Tommy blazes a path towards SPARTA - the biggest 'winner takes all' Mixed Martial Arts event in history. His brother, Brendan (Joel Edgerton), an ex-fighter-turned teacher, also returns to the ring in a desperate bid to save his family from financial ruin. So when Brendan's unlikely, underdog rise sets him on a collision course with the unstoppable Tommy, the two brothers must finally confront each other - and the forces that pulled them apart - in the ultimate face off.


I watched it in the cinema and all us lads was sitting wanting to get up and cheer during the last game. It's one of the best films I've seen in my entire life. Actually, I'm going to watch it tonight. 



So in the name of boxing, PUNCH IT!
