First we got into partners, my partner was Oscar, we did rock, paper, Scissors to see who would do the combinations first [Oscar beat me so he went first] After that Pax set us a challenge to do in 30 seconds, she said to help your partner put on boxing gloves and sit down, then the other partner got two noodles so the partner with gloves could practice the punch combos.

L.I to learn about boxing.

Today we did our first session of boxing with our instructor Pax. First we went into the hall and Pax went over the three commandments, They were Respect, Discipline and Safety. Then we started our session with putting our gloves on and finding a partner, after that we learned the boxing stance the rock. We put one leg in front and the other at the back and bent our knees to have more grip on the ground also put both of our hand under our eyes and the elbow straight down to our stomach so we can protect it.

Soon after we learned the stance we learned two new punches the jab and cross.The jab is a straight punch with the hand that is in front. For the cross you punch with the hand furthest away and your body moves sideways except for you head and you front leg to generate more power. After learning those moves we combined it together and tested it with our partners softly.
