Use Of Video Analysis In Boxing Classes

admin — Mon, 08 Mar 2010 15:09:27 +0000

Today we used video analysis in one of our boxing classes. Providing the opportunity for our students to review their performance dramatically increased their technique.

We will provide more feedback on this method over the next few weeks and boxing classes.

Marathon Blog Week 9

admin — Sat, 06 Mar 2010 12:11:24 +0000

Week 9: 01/03/10 – 07/03/10

Week 9 and back to the longer run today (Saturday). I didn’t get a massage again this week and it feels like it is taking its toll a bit now. The long run this week was 20 miles and having just got back and stretched I must say I don’t feel as bad as I thought I may do. The run seemed really easy up to around 15 mile when the legs started to feel the strain a little. I’m definitely not looking forward to my Sports Massage Monday evening as I think it may be a little painful? My weekly training schedule looked as below:

Monday – 10k Run at 7.5 min miles

Tuesday – Upper body gym workout

Wednesday – Lower body gym workout

Thursday – Upper body gym workout

Friday – Rest

Saturday – 20 Miles at 9.22 Minute miles pace

Sunday – Rest

Down’s Syndrome Boxing Class- The First Of Many?

admin — Tue, 02 Mar 2010 07:11:59 +0000

On Saturday the 27th February 2010 we ran a taster boxing class for young people in Hertfordshire & North London with Downs Syndrome and also their siblings.

Fifteen young people attended and Simon and I were blown away by the energy and enthusiasm of all that took part.

We would like to thank everyone who attended, including all the accompanying adults.

We would also like to thank Up on Downs for providing the refreshments and Paul Zanon and Patricia James from the Down’s Syndrome Association for helping us to organise the event.

We are currently getting feed back from everyone who attended to see if there is the scope to run a permanent set of boxing classes.

If you would like any more information on this or anything to do with boxing classes please feel free to contact us on info@boxing-classes.net or 0208 144 4634

Week 7: 15/02/10 – 21/02/10

Week 7 and it was time to up our mileage again on the weekend long run. I ran 2x 10k this week on Monday and Wednesday and then the longer run was up to 18 miles.

Monday – 10k at 7.66 mins mile pace

Tuesday – Gym workout upper body/Kettle bells

Wednesday – 10k at 7.48 mins mile pace

Hackney Club Xtra Boxing Classes & Our First Assistant Boxing Tutors

admin — Thu, 18 Feb 2010 18:55:32 +0000

Simon and I would like to thank all the young people that attended our Club Xtra boxing sessions this week. Club Xtra is a Hackney Learning Trust program for young people in the Hackney area over half term.

These sessions were extra special for us, as this is the first time we have used some of our former students as assistant Boxing Tutors. One of our main goals is to develop our students into assistant Boxing Tutors and then Boxing Tutors so that they can run classes under the BoxSmart umbrella.

Thank you Michael, Joel and Odane – all three of you did a great job as assistant Boxing Tutors and really helped to make the Club Xtra boxing classes a success.

Marathon Blog – week 6

admin — Sun, 14 Feb 2010 12:17:54 +0000

Week 6: 08/02/10 – 14/02/10

Week 6 and after the long run last week I decided to try to get 2x 10 milers in during the week so that I kept my mileage at an average level whilst giving the legs a bit of a rest before upping my mileage again in week 7. Again the Sports Massage was as uncomfortable as hell but I know the benefits I get from them make the pain worthwhile. Work restricted me to having a very unusual rest day Monday but by Tuesday I was ready to go again. My weekly training schedule looked as below:

Monday – Rest

Tuesday – Gym workout upper body back

Wednesday – 10 miles at 8.2 minute mile pace

Thursday – Gym workout upper body chest /massage

Friday – Gym workout Legs

Saturday – 10 miles (8.4 min mile pace)

Sunday – Rest
