Sparring the "Not-So-Seasoned" Guys and Other Stuff

 

    ENTRY 510| SEPTEMBER 8 /2023

WHERE TO START???

This was such a busy two weeks in boxing that I don't even know where to start.

I worked with various coaches on various things.

We did do a lot of work on defense. Especially 'slip--duck--counter', and another was 'jab and move'.

I also did get to do quite a bit of sparring with the younger guys. I like sparring with them. Although most of them are not "seasoned" boxers, they do move very fast, which keeps me on my toes--literally.

I have also been getting ready for Saturday's Open House.

It is now here and happening. September 9 at the Cabbagetown Boxing Club. If you are in the Cabbagetown area, drop by and visit us on Lancaster Ave. after 1:00 to watch us train so that you can see how easy boxing isn't.

OTHER PROJECTS

I am still currently working on a major writing project. "Talbot Hills Memoirs" is still in the works. Although I had to go back and do some re-writes the novel is still on track for an October release.

I am also working on a short story. A creepy "science-fictiony" tale titled "Marooned". It is creepy because it delves into one of the human's greatest fears, the feeling of being alone and abandoned. "Marooned" is due out very soon, possibly within the next few days.
