As promised, here is the video of me while i’m on the ring with our trainer, Kuya Joe. 

Credits to my blockmate who candidly took the video. 

Last December, my blockmate and I were talking to each other and he asked me to try boxing because I was telling him that I want to try a new sport. He was into boxing only November of last year and he kept on telling me that it’s fun and there a lot of girls who’s into that sport as well. Weeks passed and he kept on bugging me to try that sport, so last last week, my blockmate invited me again and our other blockmates to try boxing. I was really hesistant at first because I dunno how would I act when I am already at the gym. But yeah, I finally gave in. Hah!

The gym (I forgot the name of the gym) was located at Banawe near the Orthopedic Hospital. The ambience and people were great! Me and my friend bianca are under the same trainer, Kuya Joe. He taught us the basics of boxing, different footworks, stretchings, we also jogged for 15minutes, then we boxed for a few minutes in the ring (which was a bit awkward. Haha! I was so shy that time). Did all that for almost 5 hrs and just paid 250PHP. Yes, you saw that right. Just 250PHP! So sulit! :)

My Gloves - A gift from my father. When I was at Singapore at my dad’s place, I told him that I would be trying out boxing, then while they (Mom & Dad) were out, they saw this boxing gloves and they immediately bought it for me. So sweet! <3

Pink Hand Wraps - A gift from my blockmate, Jolo. He was the one who kept on bugging me to try boxing. So on the day that I finally tried it, he suprised me with this pink hand wraps which served as a thank you for me because I finally said yes on his invite. :)

Although hand wraps and boxing gloves are also provided at the gym, I opted to have my own gloves and Jolo gave me a pair of hand wraps as well because the gloves and hand wraps there was a bit smelly. Ofcourse, it’s because a lot of people are using it. 

Teenages Boys & Girls, Working Class, Yuppies and even little kids can be seen on that gym. It was a really really fun experience and I swear that i’ll be going back again when my schedule is not that tight anymore. :)

P.S. Will be posting a video of me on the ring later :)
