Getting in some birthday rounds with my sis before the horses decided they wanted in on the action.….

Laken Maroroa started doing her own classes in Tauranga so it was awesome for me to share some of my boxing knowledge with her. Now time to get the other sisters into it too!

Week 2 recap

As we close out week 2 some of the struggles we had was frustration.
I really struggled with the mentality “putting everything behind every punch” you see I grew up in an old school boxing gym.

So it’s both hard and frustrating.
For me not to be able to give everything I’ve got into every round , punch and session.  But the most important part.

We paid our dues this week.

My whole life Ive followed one creed “just take a single step”. 
You see it’s about forward momentum. No matter how big or small.  
Whether an inch or a mile.

With a single step a journey of a 1000 miles is possible.

The half-second you spend “settling” after a combo is the half-second you get caught.

Watch the feet. I’m recycling the power from my 2 and my 3 to hop straight onto my angle — so I can fire the next combination without ever planting and resetting. By the time they look for me, I’m already gone, hitting from a spot they can’t defend.

That’s the whole game with angles: more damage out, less damage in, and an opponent who never knows where you’re coming from.

Tag a friend your guilty of freezing during your combos — and save this one for your next bag round.

Get a pad holder that makes you look good! 🥊

Holding pads for someone?

Use the same rotation you would in a punch to catch punches with the pads. This assists making you stronger for catching powerful strikes.

Let your boxer do most of the work, let them reach. Make them move. They are there to improve their skills. Help them do it.

Make it realistic. The pads need to identify exactly where you’d be striking on the human body.

Week 1 / 12 reflections

Any worthwhile journey benefits reflection. It’s the little extras you do that raise the bar, allow for greater knowledge uptake and highlights any areas you need to address moving into the next week. Key - Always start with a win!

This week’s takeaway’s were being proud of our ability to get out as a family even when we were running on fumes.
Showing up for all 3 sessions albeit jaded from having a teething toddler. Monday’s blustery waterfront walk a slight, but flexible detour from the original plan.

Solidifying our boxing stance so we have a strong foundation which Elle reminded me is so important in other facets of our life.

Finally acknowledging we need to ensure we are equally prioritising recovery. For me that looks like a mid week sauna, being organised with my lunch at work and keeping well hydrated!

See you all next week over on stories.
Happy Boxing! 👊🏼👊🏼

The moment this hook touches… 💥💥👊🏼👊🏼

During this combo we focus on 3 aspects.

1st - Proper ex*****on of our torsos rotation. This sets up our rear uppercut. Allowing it to flow without delay and with adequate power. It’s fast. Straight to the point.

2nd - For more advanced boxers we are aiming to play with our opponents guard. 1,2, down the middle to close them up. A power 3 to the side to create a slight opening in their guard then the rear uppercut to take advantage.

3rd - Treating that 3 as our trigger. The moment that 3 touches, you launch your 6 without delay.

BOXING IS THE JOURNEY!

Our journey from the very beginning in 2019. Now it’s time to start again, this time doing a 12 week boxing camp via my app.

Starting King’s birthday, June 1st. Showing up for not only ourselves but for each other. Strengthening us, connecting ourselves back to a vehicle of immense internal growth and showing Maia our daughter how resilient her mum and dad can be.

Boxing has been the consistent in our lives that teaches, guides and grounds us.

Be part of the journey. . More to come soon 🥊

Your biggest opponent isn’t across the ring.

It’s the voice in your head mid-round telling you that you’re tired, that the game plan isn’t working, that you should just survive.

That’s deviation.
And it kills performance quietly.

This is why your warm-up matters more than most fighters realise.
The same music. The same routine. The exact same process — every single session.

Because what you do before training — you do before a fight.
Do it enough times and your body stops needing to be told what’s coming. It recognises the signals and shifts on its own.
Okay.

It’s game time.

That’s not superstition. That’s your nervous system being primed through repetition and routine.

When your nervous system isn’t primed, pressure creates noise. Doubt creeps in. Decisions slow down. You abandon what you trained for and start reacting emotionally instead of executing intelligently.

Priming removes the noise before it starts.

This is also why skill development inside The Boxer’s Code is built on clear, specific instruction followed by targeted, deliberate practice. Vague training produces vague results. Precision accelerates skill acquisition — so when the pressure comes, there’s nothing to deviate from. The body already knows.

You’re not hoping to feel ready.
You’re creating the state that makes readiness automatic.

Performance isn’t found under pressure.
It’s built before it — every single training day.

🥊 Save this. Share it with a boxer who shows up

Your nervous system is trainable.

Most boxers focus on what they can see.
Footwork. Combinations. Defence.

But underneath all of that is something they never touch — the system running the whole operation.

Your nervous system.

It decides how fast you react. How calm you stay. Whether your training shows up when it counts — or disappears the moment pressure hits.

The good news? It can be primed.

Over the next week I’m going to break down three ways to do exactly that:
→ Priming for high performance without the mental deviations that derail you
→ Priming automatic reactions so your body responds before your brain catches up
→ Priming yourself to execute a specific objective under pressure

This isn’t motivation. It’s one of the many secrets to science of boxing.

🥊 Follow so you don’t miss the breakdown.

Composed is dangerous.

When you’re under pressure — real pressure — everything gets tested. Not just your technique, but your ability to think clearly, manage your emotions, and execute what you’ve trained.

This is why skill acquisition matters so much. We don’t just drill to build muscle memory. We drill so that when the heat is on, our nervous system isn’t scrambling — it already knows what to do.

The same applies to your emotions. Fear, adrenaline, frustration — these aren’t weaknesses. They’re outputs. And like any skill, they can be trained and regulated.

Optimal performance — physically, mentally, emotionally — comes from your most composed state.

🥊 Save this. Share it with someone who needs to hear it.
