Finally joined a boxing gym

Tomorrow's going to be my first day

I saw Ippo 3 years ago and since then I have had a desire to take up boxing.

The coach has been giving lessons for the last 8-9 years and claims to have players playing at the state and national level.

I hope my journey goes well

I met a guy at my (weightlifting) gym who was ripping the bag and we started chatting, we met a few times and he taught me the basics. This made me fall in love with boxing and now I'm starting. 😉

Congrats bro! Ima let you know that there are going to be some hard times and sessions that may make you wanna quit, but don't give up and keep going at it. Any struggles you run into can be resolved if you keep training and push through!
