    Well done mate, and congrats on getting married.

    Boxing is very hard but I am enjoying it, I got with my cousin and we've decided to train very hard so that when we hit middle age we can looks back no how fit we were and how much we've lost...! I enjoy training this way so much more than the gym - and it's so much harder, I have grown a bit bored of weights I guess - I'd much rather have a more realistic workout.

    I'd love to learn BJJ, I guess I'm only used to grappling with people I know really well so I have been putting it off (like I put off the boxing, and also kung fu before that) for ages!

    What's this about your workouts? Is this on the fitness forum? I'm going to have a look....

    What shocked me about boxing was the footwork. The striking wasn't the emphasis...it was the footwork. Before my boxing training, the movies and tv showed boxers emphasing on the punch. But the truth is footwork is what boxing is all about.

    Thanks for the link! That's probably the same boxing manual that I've been trying to download with Kazaa for a while now.
