  What a ride! 听天由命！   As I write this, it’s 11 days since fight night. 当我在写这篇文章时，拳击比赛结束已有11天了。   It’s only now sinking in that the journey is over, and ‘normal’ life is beginning to settle in again. I have to be honest, it’s kind of boring.

We’re here. 我们又回来了。   In a couple days, it’ll all be over. 还有几天，这一切就结束了。   What a great journey it has been, and just a few days until fight night. 距离比赛的日子只剩下几天，这一路走来真的非常精彩！     At this point, the hard work is done,

Wooooo! Starting to feel it now!   Just over a week until fight night!   Training is going well, feeling strong, confident, focused, and this is causing a corresponding shift in mentality as the fight draws nearer.

Man, I can’t believe it’s Week 8 already! Time seems to be flying by.   I think this is probably a normal phenomenon when you have a challenge waiting for you on the horizon, for which a great deal of preparation is required.

Fights / fighters picked last week, and the first Week of ‘Real Training’ has begun.   The teams have been split up based on the matchups, so each team has 3 nights a week of scheduled training. The intensity has definitely stepped up,

And we’re in!   Tonight (Friday Oct 28th) was fight selection night. Myself and another one of the participants in my weight class (87kg) were the second group to spar. We did one round, both got some good shots in,

Sparring has started!   In this episode, I discuss my first experience sparring, immediately after getting home from the session.   The sparring was more intense than I expected, and I took a few good shots to the face and gut,

The holidays are over and it’s back to the regular training schedule! I’m feeling recovered and strong! This week there was a lot more contact drilling, and it was nice to start getting hit a bit. Gonna have to get used to it sooner or later,
