Subject: [Sportsandrec] Boxing Tips?

Hello Again,

Realizing I'd inserted a mention of boxing almost as an afterthought, in my
previous message on getting involved, and thinking now that it should have
it's own subject line, I am sharing it here again, below.  Please respond if
you have any interest in boxing, or fighting.  ;-)

I said:
"As one small example, last night I stepped into the ring - literally. I got
the snot beat out of me for the most part.  But what matters is, I did it.
I've been thinking about it for months but talked myself out of it week
after week.  Last night I took that step up. Now, today I can't breathe in a
full breath without my ribs aching.  But so what?  I'll heal.  But I took
that first step and am looking forward to learning how to box despite not
being able to see my opponent.  And if anyone has tips on boxing, I'd
appreciate you sharing them.  I got some good shots in last night, but was
the punchee more than the puncher.  I look forward to learning the way to do
it so I am not merely a punching bag for my opponent. (smile)"


Looking forward to your responses.


Strive On!
