    Default Just thought you'd like to know.

    After around 8 months out of training (well boxing) I've started it back up again
    I stopped as my instructor was a tool who demanded various medicals to even spar lightly, also he taught everyone to box in the exact same way (i.e. not taking into account thing like height, build etc).

    I finally found a new club having moved to a different part of Manchester for uni, went to a class this evening it was great I remembered how much I enjoyed it after doing some sparring in the gym.

    After warming up did a few rounds on the bags before the instructor took me on the pads, turns out I'm not that rusty after all , then me and a bloke who's first time it was sparred (he's 26, 14 stone rugby player, I'm 11 n a half 18 year old student) how I'm still alive I don't know. Did a round with him then after more bag work did 2 rounds against a lad who's half a stone lighter than me 19, about to having his second professional fight.

    Once the nerves went I started to do well, he underestimated me and I got him with some combinations, I almost knocked him down after 1 combo . I well enjoyed it and learnt that shitting yourself makes you well knackered as me and my first sparring partner found out.

    Both opponents went easy on my and I did the same in with the first bloke but it was a good experience.

    We finished off with some intense cardio which killed me as there's some illness going round which I've got but still.

    Can't wait til next thurs.

    nice. you going back to them this thurs?

    just goes to show that size doesn't matter in boxing. i rememebr watching world strongest man and this fairly short guy for a worlds strongest man (think he was 5 11 or soemthing) said he was a boxer but he didn't like taking punches so he started training weights more. he was built so prob a heavyweight while boxing so i guess his has a case about not liking getting hit

    Well I'm over 6 foot so I'm bigger than most people, but I'm quite skinny so I can make 11 stone which is what I'll fight at.

    And yes back tommorrow I can't wait

    It's interesting to read the replies to my comments. I always thought that we were encouraged to use our discrimination - at least in Baba's day, that's the way I remember it. It seemed like Baba said "Question, question, test, test" several times, but that was a long time ago and memory is a funny thing. However, I have always felt a fierce independence from the hydran grip of SYDA Foundation, and I have never made any bones about it. Everyone at the Portland Center knew that I had no interest in doing anything remotely related to SYDA politics [center leading, speaker "training"(a.k.a. "Learning to Speak like Guru Pod People"), etc]. That said, I have to confess I did a lot of small-time "support" of SYDA and GM by buying books, tapes, photos, etc., and attending Intensives. I also supported the Portland Center by attending once in a while, playing drum about as often, and maintaining the voicemail system. I answered messages left on the voicemail from seekers who requested information on Siddha Yoga, and often I was blunt about the "dirty little secrets" I knew about - Baba's sexual activity, the problems between GM and her brother, etc. (I didn't know about some of the other things I've read here at the time, or I may have left SYDA sooner.) Sometimes people decided Siddha Yoga was not for them, others thought they would check it out, but ALL were grateful for my honesty.
