Trading and Boxing

There are many similarities in trading and boxing.

To be successful in this sport, you must train with intensity. To be the best, you must train with the best. There are no shortcuts or magic pills that will take you to the top of the mountain.

Boxing is an explosive, ballistic sport. The ONLY way to prepare for this sport is by training in a manner, which mimics the demands that you will encounter inside the ring. The ring is a lonely place for the fighter who is not in shape.

The skill enhancement portion of a workout will consist of shadow boxing, bag work (heavy bag, double end bag, and speed bag), punch mitt work with a trainer, sparring, and defensive drills. A successful boxer must master his technique. He must also develop his defense. A fighter must learn to slip punches, block punches, and react with counters. It takes time to learn the sweet science. Boxing is not a sport that can be learned overnight.

Boxing is not for fainthearted. Nor is trading.
