Boxing

Today was sparring with the punching bag and practicing skills, I had a MRI the other day and its not looking good. My back is killing me all the time but I don't wanna stop boxing. I also hurt my arm today which really stinks. I went to punch but the bag came flying back and slammed into my arm which bent the wrong way. I still practiced for the whole time period even in pain.

Mrs.Peterson Techn

Today was easy, Mrs.Peterson and I agreed that if I helped her with lifting and moving equipment that she'd teach me everything about computers. So today I inserted a cd and downloaded a driver to fix some of the desktops and laptops.

Film Club

Today we did something we should have done in the beginning of film club, watch a independently filmed movie, which the main character; stared, directed, wrote, and even did the camera angles. The movie was called, "Primer"which was praised on its low budget. We thought that by watching a movie made on basically nothing that we could do the same concept but with more characters.

Boxing

Still at 161 and feeling great. Today I spared kind of with my coach and knocked him down showing him i master the three punch combination. It wasn't easy to get to that level, I had to essentially turn my body into a pullie system so that when I jab with the left my right was stuck at my face, then as I was going in with the right my left would come back to my face. It helped me so my hands don't drop and I don't get knocked out. My coach sees great potential in my and wants me to enter a tournament in the summer for boxing. I really want too as well, the only downside is Tuesday (May 4th) I go in for a MRI then June 25th I go to Bostons Children Hospital which may require me to do PT and brace but most likely no surgery! So I don't know what the future holds for me still...

Film Club

Today we decided the following: One that we would spend the summer working on the script to give us more time since no one us had actually done anything like this before also we can do the drowning scene over the summer when the water is warmer rather than freezing cold. Two we decided we will meet twice a week instead of once. And the third thing that we will start making smaller movies that are a lot shorter because we are definitely not ready to make this film happen yet. It may be a reach but Gabe White's father is friends with Edward Norton and we were hoping to get to talk to him about films etc..

Boxing

Yesterday was one of the hardest boxing practices of all time. It was basically a review of everything I've learned over the last few weeks but my skills aren't as sharp as they need to be. However the power I now see I posses is phenomenal, I'm also in the works of learning the uppercut and mixing up punches, essentially thinking on my feet. I'm also now 161.4 pounds and feeling pretty good and healthier.

Boxing

I'm now 166 pounds, and after a grueling 2 hour workout I had a sparring match today and won it killed my neck and back but I was able to win again. I am now also learning the 5 combination which adds in the uppercut to the arsenal of punches I've already learned in boxing. I've also learned to kick a lot higher, part of my workout was to kick the bottom of the bag, then middle, then finally the top of the bag, with each leg over and over again also using my 4 punch combination for kick-boxing. It is very interesting combining working out, boxing, and kick boxing all in one regiment I feel a lot healthier as a of late besides my back. Though a year ago I would never see myself being able to do any of this.
