What the Hell Was That ?
I returned to Stockyards this past Wednesday to attend Junmar's boxing class. Oh, how I miss Junmar's classes. Being pushed to the limit until my body can take no more, but "encouraged" to keep going. Then getting up the next morning in extreme pain. Oh, yes, how I miss that.
In addition to his killer workout, Junmar has added sparring to his class.
When it was my turn, Junmar said, "Are you ready, Paul? This is not like Bloor, we hit each other here."
Yeah, okay...Got that.
I did a few rounds of technical light sparring with a few of the guys. Not a huge deal. Two sets of sparring in the ring simultaneously, and others practice outside. It was similar to what we do at Bloor.
However, after technical sparring, we each had to do one round of regular sparring.
Within five seconds into the round, I had my bell rung.
What the hell was that deal? I wasn't expecting that.
Then, not another five seconds later, he nailed me straight in the nose. I remember `making fun`of someone for the exact same thing a few blogs ago. I believe some people call that "Karma".
I was using my Bloor defence which obviously does not work at Stockyards. I keep my left lower, so that it is easier to defend my body, and I use my right to slap jabs out of the way. 'No worky' and the Stockyards. I need to do Junmar's class more.
The Return of Liver Shot Guy
Do you all remember Allen? The "Liver Shot Guy". He's back for technical sparring at Bloor. Actually, he is the reason why I changed my defence. Anyway, it is nice to have him back.
Also returning is Oliver. I have not seen him around in a long time, either. A good boxer, formerly from Sully's.
Thank you to everyone who comes out to sparring. The more, the better.
Remember, technical sparring every Tuesday and Thursday at 8:30 PM, in the boxing studio at Bloor Fitness. See you there.
