I took boxing for the first two seasons, and really learnt a lot of techniques and gained strengths from it. One thing I learnt the most is the importance of automaticity  and how to make combos based on what we have already learnt. I did Muay Thai outside of school as well, but I did it as a one to one session so the way my coach teach me is to give me the cues instead of let me make up my own combinations. Training your body to get use to the automatic response is very helpful as when you are sparring with someone you really need to be able to react quickly. Every session we learn how to make combinations by ourselves. Coach will provide us possible combinations and we need to use our existing knowledge to choose the best ones for us.

I also gained some fitness as other than learning techniques, we also had physical trainings every session excluding the warm ups.
