1.(Know) https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0Ak9oqBTdYKfrdGlvRzRwM0tDMk1qcnhIVU41UDd3OEE#gid=0 My job as a boxer in training is to learn what the coaches and what other fighters teach me first hand and through observation. Spar days teach you what you should and shouldn't do in a fight, repetition makes punches second nature, and circuits create conditioning for when you're in the ring. I also help my peers through pad work and I often give them pointers on stance and punches. It's hard to train the youngins seeing as most of them have much more training than I do.
2. My main coach was Antonio Moya, but there were other coaches at Fist Of Gold boxing gym that helped me. Antonio's number is 909-282-4323
3.(Need to Know): What skills does one need to become a good boxer? How can one train to build on those skills? How demanding is the sport?
4. The most important thing I have learned from this experience, this far, is discipline and how much dedication it takes to compete in boxing. Every day you get home sore, and the next day is another hour or two of the same ruthless workout. Discipline comes with any kind of self defense, you shouldn't fight in a case where it isn't necessary. This virtue is etched into every boxer's brain (especially pros) since the training they receive makes their fists almost lethal weapons.
5. What helped me choose my topic was the fact that i wanted to work out during the summer. I had tried boxing before but I didn't stick to it, I had also seen how well it works your entire body and i started training. My first topic ideas were paintball and engineering, both were difficult to find solid topics and mentors for so i switched my topic to Boxing. I had already seen how fun boxing seemed and decided to give it another chance, the first week made me love it and I settled on boxing.
