WHOOPIE!
And it’s fun. The three
minutes of each round is
insanely intense and
exciting. It’s like being in
the greatest action movie
ever made. Heck, I get
giddy.

SWEAT! VIOLENCE!
FEAR! (OH MY!)
Yeah it’s a alotta work, but what isn’t? Don’t be afraid of
the sweat and strain.You’ll learn to glory in it. Don’t be
put off by the violence of the effort. It’s the sweetest
release. Don’t be afraid of trading punches. With the
proper gear and supervision, boxing is not a dangerous
slugfest, but a remarkably refined exercise in athletic
grace and technique. Besides, facing your fears in the
ring (or anywhere else) is freedom. Believe it.

INSTRUCTION
This book will detail certain aspects of the boxer’s
workout including some boxing technique and specific
drills. This will be more than enough to get you
acquainted with the sport in general and to get you
started with a great fitness program.

However, if you’re going to get into sparring, it’s recom-
mended that you hook up with an accredited coach and
an accredited boxing program. If you’re gonna throw
punches you want to be trained and supervised by those
who know.That’s how you’ll learn safely and properly.
Without proper supervision,you and your neighbor will
just be rumbling around with bloody noses. Or worse.
