boxing anyone?
-
Nope i will not discredit the source however one has to note that boxing books seldom give credit to the origins of boxing unlike books on tai ji which lavishes many pages to its origin, history and uses. Like the term football its slowly being replace to the american context soccer. The origin of things can be easily blur by the mass mediaOriginally posted by Hidden^OnE:They also published alot of books on wrestling. So are you going to discredit the romans and mongolians who popularized wrestling?
If you browse the bookstores, alot of martial art books are published in america. Maybe all martial art came from US... -

i went boxing for the first time in my life today. kinda cool. the coach taught the stance and the footwork first. then he slowly mixed the jab and the cross into the movement training.
becos this is my first time, i was trained separately from the rest so as to grasp the basic. but i can join the others the next training. =) -
lol awesome~
Persevere and most importantly have fun man!
Btw, do you see the national team training there? -
today's my 2nd day there. i dun really know who is who. but i know that a lot of them are gearing up for upcoming matches.
