Chicago Golden gloves to be specific. So here's the run down. I have been training off and on Different styles since I was probably 17-18. Technically a yellow belt in TKD when I was like 12. But didn't seriously start training until about 17. Im 24 now. Started at an MMA Gym here in Chicago called victory MMA. Learned the basics but gave it up for a couple of years to work.
Been moving around gyms for the past few years learning from different coaches. But some bad luck always seems to happen. Injured my back and knees and took like 2 years off.
Come back and Now have decided to try out for the Senior Novice division in the Chicago Golden gloves in March 2019. I have made the bold decision to train myself for this. I know sounds crazy. But here's the deal. I'm a certified personal trainer with a lot of knowledge of excercise and how to get into great shape.
I do train at a boxing gym called Windy City boxing and have been here for about a month and 10 days now. Basically my routine is. Mon, wed, fri- Boxing specific training. Cardio. Heavy bags rounds. Shadown boxing. Ring circles. Double end bag. Sparring(Although haven't started sparring again yet). Tues,Thurs- Conditioning/Lifting. Saturday and Sunday off.
Current stats. 6 feet tall. 181.7 last weigh in. Was 190 a month and a half ago. Trying to be 165 come March for the event. Eating on a caloric Deficit until then. I'm a long and lanky guy who loves using the jab. I have a more defensive boxing style like Floyd, but fight hands down/Low like RJJ.
Just wanted to let you guys know my journey and if you have any advice let me know. Thanks.
