The Story

4 days ago

I’ve decided to make a questionable life choice and enter a White Collar Boxing event here in Phuket, to help raise money for a children’s orphanage fund in Phuket. The donations will go directly to fund a new library bus which will serve 7 ophanages in Phuket.

After 12 weeks of training with 19 other brave souls, we step into the ring on May 9th for a black-tie charity fight night, hopefully still in one piece by the end of it.

So if you’d like to support a great cause (and help justify the bruises and hard training), I’d really appreciate a donation.

Thank you for supporting kids who truly need help - and for backing me before I get punched in the face !

10 March – First month of training completed… two more to go. The Hulk is starting to show itself.

So far we’ve focused on the six basic punches, building fitness, and plenty of shadow boxing. We’ve now started working on basic defense, plus bag and pad work.

Great instructors with Andrew and Jason, and lots of laughs along the way. Good friendships are also forming with the other comrades in the group.

The journey continues
