It was my first time in a Women's Boxing Fitness class (huminahumina). I'm a very quiet person, low key person until I'm comfortable around you. Plus, people meet me and seem to think I'm some kind of soft, weak, pushover. Until they try to push me in a way I am not going to go.
This is a true boxing class, not aerobic choreographed kick boxing. We jumped rope, did all the drills on the mat, and punched bags before we climbed into the boxing ring. Then the instructor gave us punch patterns and called us into the center randomly one by one. She'd change it up sometimes when you got there and you just followed. After my first time in she was already calling me southpaw, which didn't bother me. It's true. I consistently had strong solid punches. But once, I threw a hook that had her shaking her hand, she started calling me Scrappy Little Southpaw (I was also one of the shorter women in the class). I LOVED it. I use Scrappy on my softball shirt as well.
I think it fits me well!
