A little later than planned, here's The Saint's review of the first week of training:
"The training has started in earnest. Week one has seen the introduction of the basics –
Stance - Movement - Basic punches required - A look at combining the shots
And Defence was also examined along with use of the available space in the ring.
Skipping was a new addition in session 2 which saw lots of tangling of feet and rope. Boxing is surprisingly technical!
The fitness requirements for the sport have started to hit home. The mercifully short sessions are very intense and truly exhausting and leave the body very sore and fatigued. All in all, though, it's been an interesting week with so much more to learn.
At the end of week one The Saint has come to the conclusion that at the moment he 'stings like a butterfly and floats like a brick'
…. Roll on week 2!"
