I joined pink gloves boxing because I wanted to find something that I could be good at if I worked at it. I knew it would be a challenge for me because of my size. I thought that people were going to laugh at me for trying. When I expressed my feelings to my instructor Dean , he told me it was NONSENSE and reassured me that I would be fine. I continued to come to sessions and fell in love with what I was learning. Over the weeks I felt my body get stronger which encouraged me even more. Boxing has made me more confident with working out and getting my body right, as well as teaching me some moves I may need to defend myself.
