history: I used to be scared of sparring in the ring because guys 3 times my size would usually kick the crap out of me. In boxing I used to be scared to spar guys who were bigger because I would get my butt kicked.  Then I learned about timing and proper technique and gained more confidence when I was able to hit them back i believe this story please tell me ore
current: Well the first gym I trained at was pretty brutal...nobody held back punches, we would pretty much try to knock each other out
next: such a manly thing to do dont you agree ?
