I’ve got to start training more frequently. I’ve kind of fell into a pattern where I’m casually training without sparring and without building fitness or other attributes. It’s kind of a lazy training schedule, where I study film, work on “cool” stuff or mostly new skills, new punches, tweaking defense, new body mechanics, etc.
It doesn’t feel like I’m slacking because my boxing knowledge is rising dramatically and I’m adding weapons and tools to the ol’ toolbox. Yet, I can’t do this forever, or I’ll just become a massive underachiever with nothing to show for all my years of hard work and knowledge.
I keep saying, let me just finish polishing this one last skill then I’ll start training for real. But then I find something new and interesting to work on. Realistically without some sparring I can’t say if my skill development will translate into reality or not. I guess this post is my way of committing to some sparring next week.
