I'm going back in time to thank the guidance counselors in high school to assign me as a classmate to Nicole. Today(May 22, 12) she brought me to the West End Gym, the boxing gym where the movie "The Fighter" was filmed. We walked in and I was already attached. I met Mr. Ramalho, the owner and JJ- a friendly guy who gave me some tips right off the start. Nicole left and soon JJ had my back and Tristan, another southpaw to help me out with technique. Remember: chin down, pivot, and make sure your hands come back up to block your face.
I've already noticed a lot of comparisons to lax. Each step is an immediate follow-up step. Breathing is important, pivot in the core and on the toe. Always stay balanced yet light on your toes.
A mile away is a gas station where I promptly picked up gatorade. Mercy me.
