On Monday we had our first session of kiwisport for the term witch was BOXING!! I think that this is a very fun sport to do for our kiwisport because it is very active and because most kids our age like fighting and this is a way for them to fight but not only hurting someone. Our coach for boxing coach's name is Pax ( I think that's how you spell it ) and before we started with actually learning how to box she gave us a bit of her history like when she first started boxing three years ago when she did a fight to raise money for a charity. She won that fight and decided to fo it again but was injured and couldn't do it again and I think that she loved boxing so much that she wanted to try and teach younger people how to box.
The very first thing that we learnt how to do was how to get into a ready position and a position that that we could be in and that could keep us stable so if somebody pushed we would still be standing because we are in a stable position. The next thing that we learnt how to do was how to jab somebody witch was pretty easy to start out with and for the first thing to be learning it was fairly easy and was kind of fun at the same time. I thought that it was fun because every time that I looked at one of my friends it look like they were all trying their best to do what they were told and giving it one hundred percent effort.
The next thing that we learnt to do was a cross punch witch was pretty fun to do as well. I found this very fun because when we were learning how to do it everyone looked tired from everything else we had done but was still trying to learn it, and everyone looked like they were having fun practicing with their friends.
The last two things that we did was a combination of the two punches that we were learning which is called a jab cross, which is basically starting with a jab and then doing a cross punch. After we had learnt how to do the combination we practised doing it with one of our friends, so one person would be punching the other person and the person who is getting punched would be tapping the punches softly.
