Training seems to be going better. I ran today, sparred 3 rounds,and got some time in on the bags. I’m finding a lot of injuries that are lingering right below the surface. I train with Tanwa in the mornings but he has a fight tonight so he took the day off. I hope my joints hold up. I’m not really homesick,but I do miss my sons and my friends. I’m starting to take my camera everywhere I go and will post some pictures….
Was really sick last night. Not sure what did it but doesn’t seem to be lasting very long. I was hoping to be back in training full steam by now. I am going to set an 8 week training schedule to take my first fight. what I mean is I want to prepare for the next 8 weeks to start fight prep. Fight prep should take 3 to 4 weeks. A documentary is being made and will post video clips soon….
Training with Tanwa went well. Not enough cardio to bang hard for 5 rounds but definably an improvement. My clinching has always been a weak spot mainly because I didn’t work at it enough. I have been trying to focus on it more and It’s improving also. Tanwa holds pads really well and is fast, helps improve my hand speed. I think about 8 more weeks with him and things will be at a different level for sure, but i really think the big difference is going to be my clinching and elbow’s. Keep in touch starting to get a little lonely here….
I still feel like I’ve been beat with a stick. Training is going better I think I was trying to move to fast. I have been working with Robert the terminator (he got that nickname because the guy is a wrecking machine) calves and legs still feel weak. I will start running more next week. I haven’t gotten ahold of my son Chance but I did get to talk with Cruz. They shortened training from 3 hours a session morning and night to 2 and a half hours. It really is a lot better. Will write more soon. have to go train with Tanwan . He has really good hands and want to work on my boxing.
It’s sun night and need to get some sleep soon. I am going to start blogging consistantly now. I’m not going to go back over this or any post so if if your grading spelling or punctuation….I’m not. I am starting to get settled in. I am homesick a little. I miss Autumn alot. The whole divorce thing hasn’t settled in yet, maybe I’m avoiding dealing with it. Time will tell for sure. I bought a Honda cbr150 its a great little bike so I have been doing a little riding. Training starts again early tomorrow I really feel behind. I always start to question myself. Am I to old and just being an idiot? Do I even have the ability to devolope real talent? What about the right work ethic? There is an opertunity to finish strong and look back with no regrets. I was sorry to hear about Deenas dad. To me it reinforces what I believe and why I’m here. You never know when it’s your time.I struggle with the idea life after this one, but one things for sure I dont want to play it so safe I never really lived. I know some people think I’m being irresponsible. so what. keep in touch everyone…
I was having a hard time with access to this site because of my netbook settings. Things here are the same but different. I’m struggling with training right now. I really feel like I should have more gas,but my cardio really is sucking. My technique seems to be better than ever and I’m pretty relaxed. Just starting to question myself like always. I am going to keep this blog up and post pictures. Last year that didn’t work but its fixed now. Keep me posted on whats going on back home please…..
Flights from states were great,smooth as silk. Arrived in BKK at 11:50 pm so no connecting flights until 7:10 am. This sucks big time. Not sure if I’m going to train tomorrow night but wed for sure. Keep in touch I’m really beat so im just going to chill awhile. I really miss everybody already. take care more to come.
