Congrats to our 2010 Arnold Classic Boxing Tourney Champions Micah Branch and April Redick. Job well down to runner ups, Christy Lacy, who fought a hellava fight loosing a very close decision, Mike Goins, and Tarrell Steward who where both robbed, terrible decisions!!
Pilger’s Old Skool Boxing Team performed extremely well as we displayed great skill and conditioning among some very sloppy boxing/fighters.
On to the Golden Gloves next month where we plan to kick some ass!!

Hey Rob,
I’ve been training in muay Thai for about five months and have begun sparring recently. I am glad the experienced guys take it easy on me right now; I am beginning to realize how easily a pro-level or a skilled amateur fighter could dismantle someone.
Anyway, my question is how do you cross the ‘no man’s land’, so to speak, and start setting up what you want to do? I’m trying to flick the jab out, throw some light kicks and gauge things but it just doesn’t seem to click as far as what to do.
I’m guessing it takes a lot of practice but if you could give some tips or perhaps suggest some materials to learn from, I’d really appreciate that.
Thanks,
Ryan
Ryan, yes, it takes time and you w2ill get better the more you spar. Break down what you are having trouble with in sparring with a partner and drill it. That’s it, just keep breaking down what’s difficult for you in drills and attack it till it’s natural for you.
Also the more sparring you do, the more vision you will have, the more relaxed you will be, and what your training is teaching you will flow better in the real world of sparring.
Just make sure the sparring is beneficial to you and doesn’t turn into a gym war where the skill goes out the window!
Good luck and keep me updated!
