Scared?

Scared?

Are you scared? Nervous? Skittish? You’ve probably seen announcements about Fight Club at its new day and location – Fridays at Elon Park Elementary. Maybe you considered it? You thought about changing up your routine, adding boxing for its elements of high-intensity interval training; foot and speed work and arm, shoulder and back strengthening. Yet, you didn’t post. Shame.

Chipotle and I did show and it was still great. The night before, we agreed to show up early for some early sparring. After a few rounds, I looked at my watch 5:35. Just us. Ok.

We hit the heavy bag, jumped rope and drilled with hand pads. Then we noticed the perfect spot for more sparring – a Ga-Ga Ball ring. (It’s like dodgeball.) The area is roughly the size of a boxing ring. We stepped into the ring for additional rounds of sparring. For the record, we don’t go after the head, but my sore jaw this morning can attest that is does happen. Punches are thrown at about 50%. It can hurt, but mostly doesn’t. Our real goal is conditioning and technique. We finished with Chippy’s trademark ab melt down.

There are plenty of running workouts. No shortage of boot camps. Gear and KB options are available most days. There is only one Fight Club. Come out, mix it up and get stronger.

See you in the gloom!
