  What is Boxing to me?
Boxing is the ULTIMATE contest between two sports persons. Boxing is a Barest art of self defense, the ideal vehicle for unfettered aggression. It is a great and grand art to hit the opponent without getting hit. And it is fun, it is like being in the greatest action movie ever made.
 
     
  A boxer is better balanced, more coordinated, sharper reflexed, longer lasting human being. Learning to box is not overnight thing. Success in Boxing is not fore granted. Your training merely makes successful Boxing possible. A Boxer must have the willsomeness to win, a sub conscious desire for victory, tenacity, courage and competitive killer instinct to transform the Boxing potential resulting from good training into Reality.  
     
  Your Boxing training is everything to you. So, respect it and fun with it. Stick with it and you will never regret the hard work. You just figure out the necessary and sufficient training to acquire your own specific boxing skills and adequate conditioning to successfully spar and outwit your opponent. And then sketch a crystal clear vision to become better than best. There should not be no one between you and your focused aim. Your attentive, selective, potential and kinetic hard work will itself inspire you to remain firm on your determination. It will boost you to not only reach to the destination but make you to go through the target and even farther than that you have imagined.
