We often hear the famous quote from Muhammad Ali “Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee!!”

We organized our very first Boxing Challenge for Personal Trainer workshop on the 12th & 13th of March 2011 and the workshop was full 🙂 Awesome attendance. We have 8 participant from Fitness First and 4 students from FIT. The course was conducted by Brett Crosby, former Ringside Light-Heavy World Boxing Champion, NASM Certified PT.

Participants were briefed on safety before the workshop started and experienced various boxing movements which includes basic stances, jab, cross, hook & upper cuts and also mastering the mitts . They were trained on how to instruct their clients on those moves. Most importantly they were taught on how they can include boxing into their clients PT programmes yet ensuring safety and effectiveness of programme. Below are picture taken during the workshop. Enjoy 🙂
