boxing changed my life

[georgie]

first of all i got to thank mike brewer for giving me the guiding words that would change my life. i took up boxing about 2 months ago after chatting with mike about the benefits of boxing as self defense. i studied wado , kyokushin and uechi ryu karate and was not impressed with any of them . i was a 205lb bodybuilder/powerlifter with terrible cardio and a 380lb bench press. my senseii told me i had the hardest punch he'd ever seen. so after talking with mike i decided to take up boxing. since then ive doubled my punch power, probably tripled my cardio endurance and lost 32 lbs. i now have enormous confidence in myself and my ability to defend myself. i also am able to judge better the real bullshit of a lot of martial arts out there. ive developed abs and been doing very very well with the women. boxing probably saved my life. if i could recommend one martial art to anyone or one way of training to somebody looking to get in shape it would be boxing . i have a whole new respect for the conditioning of boxing and now know they are the best conditioned of all martial arts. thanks again mike , ill box for life .

Good luck with your training Georgie!

With your new found interest, life will never be the same....you will watch boxing whenever it comes on, even if the broadcast is in Swahili and broadcast at 3am (set up the VCR!). You will walk about your house, pausing now and then to shadow box and work on your technique while driving your women nuts. Doors and trees become makeshift heavy bags that you hit lightly with your jab, cross and hook. You find yourself more energetic and light on your feet if you weren't allready. You find yourself judging barroom brawls on the fellas, speed, accuracy, power, defense, footwork...


Welcome !

I agree with you, but at the same time I can't see myself giving up working on groundwork (i.e. BJJ) and legwork (i.e. Muay Thai)

You're welcome. I'm glad to have helped.

Have you considered a career in motivational speaking?
