Working the Offense

  

    ENTRY 537| MARCH 23/2024

WEEKLY SPARRING REPORT

THIS WEEK;  13 ROUNDS

FOCUS:  OFFENSE

Nothing special happened this week so I only have a sparring report.

This week the coach wanted me to work with helping some of the other boxers with defence. That means that my main focus this week was offense. 

The coach wants me to work on jabbing more by keeping my opponent away and forcing him to the ropes.I have also been working on this technique while shadowboxing.

That is all I have this week except that next Friday is not only Good Friday but it is also my birthday.  If the gym is open I might go in for my "Birthday Beating". A Cabbagetown tradition. 

I might also do a special blog entry. I am not yet sure but check here and social media for updates.

NEXT ENTRY: March 30 /2024
