ENTRY 387
SPARRING LAST WEEK, BUT IS IT ENOUGH?
I did four good rounds with Coach Sarah on Thursday.
That is great for technical work.
She is awesome for teaching technical and I appreciate that. However, as I found out the hard way in December, technical alone is not enough.
I need to work on brute power as well. Inflict some blunt force trauma.
I need to spar some really big guys who are not going to be at all bothered by getting hit really hard.
There is a guy at Stockyards I can spar sometimes, but I still have to find out if I am covered to spar there. Boxing Ontario certainly will not cover me.
In the meantime, I have also had invites to spar in Ottawa and New York.
I plan on going to Ottawa this summer anyway, so that is not a problem.
However, going to New York is a bit more difficult. There is a sparring session In April that I have been invited to.
It is interesting because they are sponsored sessions. I am not exactly sure how that works. Nevertheless, I want to go.
The problem is that I currently do not have a valid WHTI travel document.
I am currently in the process of obtaining a Nexus, but the process is quite lengthy as it requires government security clearance from both Canada and the United States.
I do have an advantage in that my job already requires a security clearance, so it should not be difficult getting another.
Also, that I am a Canadian citizen. As per Canadian law, a citizen of Canada can never be refused entry into Canada.
That being said, I am not a U.S. citizen. Therefore, the United States does NOT have to let me in.
However, I don't see problems, but the process can take a while. I hope it is done by April.
It looks like 'The Brick' is going to be doing some travelling this year.
I have no more butts left to kick in Toronto, so I have to go elsewhere.

CONGRATS TO GODFREY AND MOHAMMED
Two of my professional boxer friends won big in Mississauga on Saturday.
Mohammed has now won six in a row, and I think this was Godfrey's first bout. At least I don't know of him having any previous.
Congratulations to both.
Good job.
