Blizzard Warning

The weatherman is forecasting a blizzard this week so the gym may be closed Thursday. If KV and North Newton schools are both closed, the gym will be closed. We'll see how things are for Saturday when we get a little closer.

Doug won at the regionals and Kreed unfortunately got DQ'd due to some snafu at the weigh in. Congratulations Doug on a job well done.

Coach Jimmy is training hard for his upcoming fight and progressing quite nicely. He's still got about 5-6 weeks until he fights and his conditioning is already very good - one of the benefits of fighting without much of a layoff between fights as well as having a strong work ethic.

We've got a few new members in the gym, both young and old. Todd's here to work on his conditioning and to lose a few pounds. He's set some reasonable goals for himself and his workouts reflect his desire to meet those. We should probably get some before and after photos to show everyone what hard work combined with a good boxing conditioning program can do for you.

Those of you planning on competing in the Golden Gloves in March had better be stepping up the training. Obviously it's going to tough to do any roadwork if we get 12" of snow and blowing winds but jumping jacks, rope work, push-ups and sit-ups can all be done indoors. The gym has been very successful in our first couple of years. We want to continue to be a force wherever we go.

Be safe and we'll see you when the roads are safe.
