"Always Be Ready"

 

    ENTRY 533| FEBRUARY 24 /2024

WEEKLY SPARRING REPORT

THIS WEEK; 10 ROUNDS

FOCUS: CHANGING STANCE

Nothing special happened this week so I only have a spring report, and I only did 10 rounds this week. Although that has been my goal, my coach has me do at least 4 rounds per session. For one of those sessions another coach was in charge of sparring and that particular coach generally only allows me two rounds which is completely and totally useless. I can do two rounds in my sleep.  

Anyway, my focus was on switching between Orthodox and Southpaw. Although I have managed to get the Southpaw stance itself, I needed some help switching stances. The biggest being that I was dropping defense during the switchover process, so I put a big emphasis on that this week.

Otherwise, there was nothing much different.

I asked the coach to keep an eye out for any upcoming bouts and he told me to "always be ready".
