The Art of Boxing.

My friends talked me into joining them for some boxing. They've been doing it for a while now, and they encouraged me that it's really fun (and easy?!) :) So much for stress, school work, and the like, this is a good alternative to release all the negative vibes in your system. Trust me! It really works.

It was a Wednesday afternoon when we ( Nisan , Deya , Reena and  Jojo ) went to Elorde Boxing Gym in Katipunan. I was so amazed to see all the boxers and the trainers in action as we stepped inside the gym. My friends started their pre-boxing ritual, which comprised of wrapping their hands with the hand wraps, putting on their gloves, and warming up. I was introduced to Wendell, my trainer for the day. I was so happy to get him as a trainer because he was bisaya, so I was comfortable in conversing with him, and most of all, expressing my feelings. (hahaha!) 

It was awkward at first, teaching me the basics- jab straight hook. :) But in the long run, I was already comfortable with the punches and the footwork. After how many rounds of 'sparring', there was an ab workout, which I hated! Luckily, the ab trainers were so funny, I just laughed my way through it. 

Finally, picture taking! I can't pass this momentous event of my life without pictures! My first time boxing ever! 

With Reena and Deya- fearless fighters!
