From this day to the ending of the world,

But we in it shall be remembered-

We few, we happy few, we band of brothers;

For he to-day that sheds his blood with me

Shall be my brother;

At the House of Pain Boxing gym

Just got home from The House of Pain boxing gym. Walking into the gym I automatically heard the the timer ring the end of a round and see two young people. One shadow boxing in the ring the other hitting the speed bag.  I go to the far end of the gym and start warming up. Shadow boxing in front of the mirror for about 10 min, Grab my jump rope and start jumping for about 15 min.  As more young amateur start arriving the sweet music of the swooshing of the jump rope and the rhythm of the heavy bag getting hit. It helps me to let go of all that has been bothering me for the day.  Focusing  on my combos and head movement, had a great but hard work out

This is the first post on the subject of  Boxing and Training in Colorado. My object is to discuss the current Boxing scene and the training element of boxing. Also talk about upcoming fights local and world wide including the amateurs. Hope I can spread my knowledge to those learning or who are interested in boxing.
