Competitive boxing
Purpose of the experience is to get back to boxing after trying out kickboxing, which did not end up being my style. Starting 9th of April. Minimum of 3 practices a week, duration of 1-1.5h each. However, I do not plan on counting each hour, as it would add up to so many hours. However, this shows that I'm actively participating into sports as a part of my CAS all year round. Goal is to train hard and start competing as soon as possible. Update: I had few unexpected surgeries and one bigger change of heart so I never started to compete.
Materials needed are appropriate clothing including shoes, hand wraps, sack gloves, boxing gloves, dental guards and head gear. All needed materials have to be acquired by the boxers themselves. Risk assessment concerning fighting activities are practicing carefully under professional supervision and in case of an injury, contacting a doctor. Taking care of nutrition and knowing own limits is crucial. Ethical considerations include not using the skills learned in an illegal way. Practices include a warm-up, stretching, shadow boxing, technique, sparring, bag-training and a cool down. All actions vary each time.
I love boxing and it's one of the greatest sports ever, I loved the training and loved seeing development. However, things don't always go the way you'd expect. Currently, (January 2023) I'm on a break and on a crossroad, whether I will get back with the same intentions. It has come my time to prioritize more important matters in my life and hoping to get back when the time is right <3
