I have one fight coming up toward the year's end in November (amateur boxing). During the spring 2004 (March/April) there's a kickboxing tournament (amateur kickboxing). The rules allow leg kicks, but no knees/elbows (Thank God). The challenge will be in fighting several full-contact fights, due to the tournament format. My MT coach had to move for his job, but there are several good Thai guys here in Houston.

I've been taking it fairly easy for the past 3-weeks. Sticking with 10 min steady rope work, 3:00 interval runs (@ 65-70%) with 1:00 coasting for 2 miles on one day and shadow boxing followed by circuit training (30 reps per excercise). I train 2 days on, 1 off.

As far as boxing skills off season, do you recommend I just stick with pad work & defense? Or take a break from it?
