The Knock-Out Punch

2 Comments

I have been enjoying my Combat work-outs so much that I decided to do some boxing for my 43 today.  I used Hunter’s punching bag.Punching Bag

And, happiness – I wore my pink boxing gloves!!!

Pink boxing gloves make me smile!!

For the 43 I started with a right stance and, using my right arm did a jab, hook, uppercut series plus a left cross.  (I feel like my punching technique has improved thanks to the hints I’ve gotten from the Les Mills crew.)  Of course, I had to switch my stance after I got to 43 and do another set with a left jab, hook, uppercut, right cross.  As a bonus, I did 43 alternating jabs to finish!

Boxing makes me feel powerful!!!  I didn’t think I would like it as much as I do!

I also did a Les Mills Combat work-out – Combat 45.  Great work-out  – especially the jumping side kicks and the jumping knees!!!

While I was punching and kicking today, I was thinking about things I would use a knock-out punch on.

My first thought was this: Screen shot 2013-01-31 at 7.11.28 AMBut then I would have missed out on my work-out opportunity of the day and that would not have been cool!

Then I thought I would knock-out all of the daily aches and pains I experience thanks to getting older!!!Screen shot 2013-01-31 at 6.59.25 AM

But even that is a totally selfish thought use of my knock-out punch!

What I would really, really like to use it on is Cancer.  Cancer sucks!!! The last 1.5 – 2 years it seems like many people in my circle of friends, aquaintances, etc. have been hit hard.  So, I would say –  Screen shot 2013-01-31 at 7.19.35 AM

 

And on that note, time to take on Thursday!!  4th graders today!!!  (I won’t be doing any knock-out punches at school!!!)

Happy Thursday!

  1. Good job. Pretty pink boxing gloves. Boxing demands practice a lot. To be able to buy a good boxing bag and set of gloves and shoes for boxing. Before purchasing you should know about them. A sparring glove has a thicker and soft cushion that not only protect the hands but also designed in a way to transfer minimum energy. Hence, it protects both you are your sparring partner. Without fast movements, you simply can’t establish your authority in the ring. For good feet movement, you need solid technique and top-notch boxing shoes.
