Funny you should mention this.
I've gone from my 20 mins workout, and few km walk each day , to boxing again (bag not people).
I used to do a lot of muay thia (thai boxing), but since my leg beak, that bottom half of me isn't really upto it...
Great way to get back in shape...
I boxed a bit years ago, mostly sparring to stay in shape and hone some fighting skills. My best memory was a sparring session with a semi-pro, 6'8" Heavyweight from Philadelphia...That put him at a foot taller than me!!! I crouched so low, that he was swinging at thin air :>)
When I owned a weight training gym, a guy opened a kick-boxing gym next door, then another guy opened a Jiujitsu Dojo across the street.
I've got a heavybag in my basement...I'm thinking of painting Soros' face on it for encouragement. It's great for cardio workouts.
Good to hear you're upping your interest in fitness. It's a primary reason, I think, that my health is so good at 70, along with food supplements and a slightly better diet than most Americans.
My claim to fame - hitting herbie hines in the stomach - a week after his world heavy weight title victory ....he was on 'r&r' in hong kong at the time, and I touted him into my bar (with warren, his manager)
I hit him pretty hard - never flinched.! lol
I've seen some amazing hits taken by some...even repeated ribcage hits near the liver or spleen by a practicioner of Shin Yi in Chinatown, NYC years ago. The Sensi was also a Dr. of Chinese medicine who gave me an herbal ointment for Iron Palm training at the time.
