This past weekend I took my first Boxing class! I have been meaning to start classes since I came to DC but had been hesitant (ok scared really) to attend.
Well after getting a brush stuck in my hair (see previous post for proof) I realized I really did not have much to lose!
I attended the class at Washington Sports Club in Columbia Heights, where I go everyday (really great gym- cannot recommend enough. Stay away from the Dupont one- too small and cramped). The class was... hell! (can we swear on these sites?) I am still sore two days later. But I loved it. Boxing is an amazing workout- was completely soaked by the end of the class.
And even though I was a total rookie and barely knew what I was doing, it was empowering. Also- fun. Taking any tensions you have built up from that annoying homework assignment, bossy coworker, or that jerk ex of yours and releasing it with every punch, it felt good!
If anyone ever wants to join me for a class- shoot me a comment. Would love a partner. Every Rocky needs their Creed after-all.
