Even though I’m not under the stresses of camp, and I’m in great shape, dragging myself to the gym has become a dire chore. With each failed effort to get serious again I continually think back to when boxing was fun. The truth is I can barely remember that far back. But yet I don’t want to quit.
I need a break, but I don’t want to gain weight, lose my skills and be deprived of the rush of combat sports. I’m thinking of switching to a reputable MMA school a few minutes from where I just bought a house. I can keep sharp with some MMA, kickboxing and Brazilian jiu-jitsu training, and come back to boxing when I’m mentally reset. This school does have a boxing program too, but I’m undecided on if I’ll go take advantage of it immediately.
