Junior Box...Really?

When I started writing 75 blogs ago I made a promise to myself that if I wanted to write about something I would. You see, I am cursed with a not previously described  affliction that I have self-diagnosed and coined as Manic Expression. The symptoms are simply that if I see something interesting or funny, I must write about it. It does not matter to me whether or not it provokes the public discourse. If I see it, I'll blog it and that is that: the final word. 

So onto kids boxing!?! This blog has absolutely nothing to do with kids boxing. It is about young adults and their absolute inability to dress themselves. Recently I made admissions about my own lack of self-awareness with regard to grooming and deportment, but the other day I bore witness to self-unawareness that set the bar at a whole new level.

As a member of the Arachnid Fight Team for as long as it has existed (6+yrs?) I have watched many young kids grow into strong, fit and intelligent young men. I just want to be clear here that within the fight group are engineers, biologists, financial planners etc. The word kickboxing is not a synonym for thug or knuckle dragger. In the picture below the guy on the left has PhD and the guy on the right makes mega bucks as a financial planner and has a fancy pad in the south-west coastal retreat of Yallingup.

But no matter how fiercely competitive, physically and mentally strong these guys are, sometimes even they just need a helping hand to sort themselves out. Take 'old mate' (I wont name names) below as an example. He has been training on and off for years. In recent sessions, since the commencement of the 2015 training calendar, he had been struggling with the uncomfortable inconvenience of wearing a protective box during fight training. After much ado, Sensi Ashley Hunt, requested to inspect his box (we are all very close). Upon retrieving it from his nether regions the unexplained discomfort was immediately diagnosed. 

Over the Christmas break, 'old mates' training gear had gotten a little mixed up and he had been wearing his junior box that he used when he was only nine. Moreover, he had been wearing it upside down as he simply could not work out why his 'junk' would not fit. Needless to say, since the problem was diagnosed and rectified the fluency of his kicks have improved exponentially.
