Boxing has been a lot of fun and also definitely been a new experience for me. I have learned a lot about myself and also my friends as I discovered a more persevering aspect of myself through this. I think boxing has helped me gain self-confidence in myself.

We focused more on the partner work in the last few classes of boxing after we had established the four basic punches (jab, double jab, hook, uppercut). It definitely a lot better working with a peer as we were able to challenge each other e.g. increase the pace, increase duration etc. as opposed to shadow boxing where we practised against our reflection in the mirror or working with the bags. The communication was important in this as there was an issue of safety if either person was not paying attention and it could have led to injuries. However, as a whole working with my friends made the experience more beneficial and a lot more fun too.

I think that boxing was a great step in taking me out of my comfort zone for CAS as a whole as it motivated me to sign up for more activities that I had never tired before.
