CODY’S FAVORITE BOXING COMBINATION:
Well, I love going to the body, so keeping it simple I would say jab, jab, cross, hook upstairs, then, drop down for the hook to the body, slip and get out…basic, strong and effective.
HOW HAS BOXING BENEFITED YOU THE MOST?
Honestly a few ways. Competition really helped me to have the perspective that no matter how bad things can go, just like a bad Round of a fight, it will end and you will get another chance. Life is like a Boxing match with endless rounds and chances to become a Champion…all you have to do is keep getting up. “Quitters never win and winners never quit” as Coach Dave says.
Another two significant ways that I think most people will also relate to, is discipline and fitness. When you are in your early 20’s and you don’t necessarily think about you’re health or fitness…you’re really riding youth. I highly suggest everyone try a boxing class some time! You will learn two things: 1) Boxing is very fun and 2) You are in worse shape than you thought.haha
THE REASON YOU STARTED BOXING?
I played football, basketball and baseball growing up and I loved watching all sports, especially Boxing. Boxers have amazing fitness and are in amazing shape…honestly, in my opinion, they are the most fit athletes in the world. I was never one to get into fights or anything like that, but I like being in shape and I love sports, so, after high school, Boxing just made sense to try…and I loved it!
5 WORDS THAT DESCRIBE YOUR TEACHING STYLE:
Patient. Relaxed. Fun. Positive. Effective
OTHER ACTIVITIES AND HOBBIES:
Well, I’m a barber also, so I love cutting hair. I love watching sports and I enjoy RnB and Hip Hop. Coach Dave keeps trying to get me to go surf with him, but I don’t know, it’s cold and I know there’s sharks out there.haha
