Sparring

It was great to be able to spar at Boxing again this morning. It's been a long time since we've been able to do this, so it was good to be at it again.

It might seem like an odd thing to be doing and enjoying (especially at my age), but there is something very satisfying, I guess almost cathartic, in stepping in to the ring to hit (and be hit) by someone else, but it really is a lot of fun, especially knowing that you both chose to be there and are keeping things under control.

Recently the Boxing part of CEY (the Crossfit & Boxing gym we're a part of) was sold to Coach Corné who set it up as a new venture just down the road from CEY. The new gym is called Knockout Centre, with Corné providing Boxing and MMA.

Previously at CEY the ring was taken out because of the amount of space it requires, so it's fantastic to have it back at Knockout in its now permanent home.

I look forward to making this a regular part of my Saturday mornings.
