I've been dreaming up being properly trained at a boxing gym for a really long time. There's absolutely no one tougher and more disciplined than a fighter and if I'm going to rule the music industry, I have to be able to endure extreme pressure and have killer focus.
Extraordinarily, while on my current trip to London, my fantasy came true...plus I was also trained by an east end boxing champion in the world famous Repton Boxing Club. It was so exciting I almost wet my pants! Not only was I trained to fight as a prize fighter by one, I also got to sparr with him- Jamie Robinson. Thank you Jamie!!
Couple interesting facts - most of the exercises are done in three minute increments full out; as each round is three minutes and then after that you get one minute to "blow"; that means breathe ;). Also, many fighters starve themselves the day before their fight to loose weight in order to meet their goal for the fight. This also thickens the blood and could cause clots while fighting...which as you could guess means big trouble. I learned some other tricks that fighters do which are on the sly and aren't legal. If you want to know what they are, go to my myspace page and ask me there. http://www.myspace.com/AlisaApps
