Club boxing president Andrew Do '13 primes for summer

For many, the relaxed atmosphere of sophomore Summer provides a good opportunity to take one or several of the three physical education courses required to graduate. The warm weather presents ample opportunity for sailing, golfing and other outdoor leisure activities, but those in club boxing choose to knock out this distributive requirement in a much more literal fashion.

Club boxing provides a chance for its members to get in shape and learn basic fighting skills, according to club president Andrew Do ’13.

“We don’t just do standard push-ups and sit-ups,” Do said. “You learn various types of exercises. You learn to workout without equipment.”

The club starts out each term with a basic overview of workouts and fighting technique, According to Do. In fact, new members only shadow box for the first four weeks before finally donning gloves to practice against a bag.

By the end of the term, members begin to lightly spar each other in the ring, but it does not usually get very intense, Do said.

“Every once in a while, people get nosebleeds or bleed from their mouths,” he said. “No one is experienced enough for good fights.”

More advanced fighters who have boxed since high school occasionally show up to spar and use some of the other equipment, but they rarely participate in workouts or sparring matches, Do added.

While sparring amongst the group is common, club boxing has not boxed against competitors from other schools in recent history.

The last time members boxed each other in a public setting was in the spring of 2009 in the boxing gym beneath the squash courts, when over 300 people packed in to watch the club-organized “fight night.”

“I heard it was pretty crazy,” Do said.

Before Spring term, the group met in the gym beneath the squash courts, but recently its location changed to a room next to the basketball courts in Alumni Gym. Due to construction on the floor and the ceiling in that area this summer, club boxing will meet in the multipurpose room on the ground floor of the gym.

“We won’t have any bags, so the focus will be more on conditioning,” Do said.

Throughout the term, members will aim to stay in peak physical shape with a variety of exercises designed to build arm strength and endurance, Do said.
