Alright, folks, gather ’round. Today, I wanna share my journey into the world of kickboxing, specifically focusing on Holly Holm’s style. You know, “The Preacher’s Daughter,” that woman is a beast!
So, I started this whole thing because I was looking for a good workout, something that would really push me. I’ve always been into fitness, but I wanted something more than just running on a treadmill or lifting weights. I wanted to learn a skill, you know? And kickboxing, especially the way Holly Holm does it, seemed like the perfect fit.
Getting Started
- First off, I dug into Holm’s background. Turns out, her amateur kickboxing record is 6-0-2. Not too shabby, right? And her professional boxing record? 33 wins, 2 losses, 3 draws. I mean, come on, the woman’s a legend! She’s got those World Welterweight titles and all that jazz.
- I watched a ton of her fights, tried to break down her moves. Her stance, the way she moves, those lightning-fast kicks… it’s all so impressive.
Hitting the Gym
- Then came the hard part – actually doing it myself. I found a local gym that offered kickboxing classes. I’ll be honest, the first few sessions were rough. My body was aching in places I didn’t even know existed.
- But I kept at it, showed up every week, sweated my butt off. The trainers were great, they helped me with the basics, taught me how to throw a proper punch, how to kick without falling on my face.
Progress and Setbacks
- Slowly but surely, I started to see progress. I got better at sparring, my kicks became more powerful, my stamina improved. It felt amazing!
- But it wasn’t all smooth sailing. There were days when I felt like giving up, days when I got my butt kicked in sparring. But I reminded myself why I started in the first place, watched some more Holly Holm videos for inspiration, and got back in the gym.
Where I’m At Now
- So, where am I now? Well, I’m no Holly Holm, that’s for sure. I haven’t won any titles recently! But I’m definitely in better shape than I was before. I’m more confident, more disciplined, and I’ve found a workout that I actually enjoy.
- I keep practicing, keep learning, keep pushing myself. It’s a journey, and I’m enjoying every step of it. Maybe one day I’ll step into the ring for a real fight. Who knows? The important thing is, I’m having fun and staying active. And that’s what matters, right?
So, that’s my story, folks. Hope you found it somewhat interesting or at least a little bit entertaining. If you’re thinking about trying kickboxing, I say go for it! It’s tough, but it’s worth it. Just remember to take it one step at a time, and don’t be afraid to fall down a few times. You’ll get back up, I promise.
