How did you get into boxing and how did you find yourself at 3rd Street?
βI've always been into martial arts growing up and have had little experience in everything from Shaolin Kenpo to Filipino Knife Arts. My friend wanted to try a boxing class at 3rd St which prompted me to follow and I've been here ever since.β
What's the best part about boxing? Why do you train?
βThe best part about boxing is the community and environment. There's nothing more motivating than being around like-minded folks that are working on bettering themselves. I've been training for general fitness and to also develop my fighting confidence.β
Any words of advice or encouragement for newbies?
βDon't be afraid of getting things wrong or looking like a fool in the beginning. We're all here to learn and develop our skills. Just focus on the basics and everything will follow. Jab more.β
