Let’s Get Ready to Rumble!

Thanks to Coach Claire, we were able to organize a fantastic field trip to the D. Dalmain Ebanks Boxing Gymnasium on Thursday. You see, in P.E., Coach Claire is doing an amazing dance routine that centers around shadow boxing. So, we decided to ‘take it to the ring’ and give the kids a true glimpse into the world of boxing. Everyone sat, mouths open wide and eyes glued to Coach Norman Wilson (also know as Stormin’ Norman) as he ‘took them through the ropes’ of boxing…showing them the ins and outs and the basic moves! They even got to step into the ring and practice a few moves. And…it gets better, the kids also got to meet Cayman’s own World Boxing Champion (ranked 2nd in the world) Charles ‘The Killa’ Whittaker. It was a very exciting field trip…one that I’m sure will get rated as ‘Most Awesome Field Trip Ever’!

Tracey Seymour is one of Cayman's very few female boxers. She's also my friend and an amazing photographer. 🙂
This is how boxers drink water while training! 🙂
