Fight Club – Mic Check talks it up

Fight Club – Mic Check talks it up

5 men faced down their fears and had a good workout, and a good laugh too.

The Thang:

After waiting for a good while for Mic Check to master his hand wraps (never happened) we began a rotation through boxing stations led by Chippy. We hit the punch bag some, hit the mitts some, and did a lot of shadow boxing.  It was challenging to put any power into the bag since it was solid ice below it.  The shadow boxing involved a lot of trash talk from Mic Check Mayweather.

Chippy was raring to hit someone and after about thirty minutes he sent us over to the hallowed patch of dirt and leaves known as “the ring”.  After strict instructions to keep our punches to 25% or less the action commenced as follows:

Dead Lift vs Mic Check, Chippy vs Loogie, Haggis vs Deadlift, Mic Check vs Loogie, Chippy vs Haggis.

The power quotient steadily increased (this often happens in sparring) and I think we finished up around 50 – 60%.  I think we all caught a few solid hits, and we all laughed our a$&@/s off at the showboating performed by a certain Mic Check.  Problem is, the bugger is so quick he can get away with it.

Anyone who hasn’t tried Fight Club yet, you are missing a great workout and a good time.  Sparring is optional – come on out and give it a try!
