okay here we go!!! its been about a month since the last entry and we are counting down the days now until all Canadian fitness's own elissa rubino makes her much anticipated muaythai boxing debut.
for those who don't know elissa, she has been training diligently since October of 2007 at the studio and at my own gym the phoenix fight club. when she first came to all Canadian fitness she was not sure what direction she was going to take. elissa had said she either wanted to pursue fitness bodybuilding or try her hand at thaiboxing as she had already had some previous training at a local mountain gym for kickboxing.
after a few sessions of each she made up her mind to try the fight avenue. i have trained alot of fighters and elissa is well on her way to making a successful debut(scheduled for aug 9th) elissa's training sees her at the studio at 7am sharp as she usually arrives early with coffee in hand for her trainer($1.28 buys alot of love!) and proceeds with 1/2 hour of conditioning drills and 1/2 hour of technical drills focusing on getting her ready for the fight ahead. elissa is at the studio 2 days a week and spends 1 day per week in Mississauga sparring and the other 2 days at the fight club with the rest of her team.
this is not an easy training regime for anyone but it is necessary for a person wanting to enter the fighting sport of thaiboxing. if your free on aug 9 travel on over to kombat arts training academy and check out elissa's fight or get exposed to an entirely different way to channel those aggressive tendencies!
until next time...hands up, chin down, and keep on pushin!
