I started boxing when I was 12 in Ajax, Ontario. At 14 I moved and switched to Hapkido. In my late teens are started bodybuilding and have pumped weights ever since. 20's and 30's I bounced from martial arts to playing around with competitive MMA fighters. Getting a little older I decided to focus on Boxing now that I am 40. I train with my 13 year old son who plans on fighting at the Bronze Gloves tournament this year. I love boxing and enjoy training with my son. I also run the Masters Program (35 and Up) at our club on Monday nights. I plan to compete as often as I can starting this September and am trying to get my weight down below 220 by the end of this year. I now train weights and cardio every weekday morning and at the boxing club 3-4 nights per week. I get sparring in 2 nights per week out of those nights. I'm addicted to boxing. It's a great sport physically and mentally.
