How about describing your training routine and what they had you doing on a daily basis.
You say you had no previous martial arts experience so I am curious and am sure others are as well as to what you did to progress so well in just one month.
Training routine?
Nutrition?
Well you'd set the alarm for 6:40AM, get up immediately, put on your boxing shorts and shoes, carry your gloves and sometimes shin pads, then jog/run to the gym which is 3KM away, starting training at 7AM.
Then the 2 hour/2 and half hour session began by 30 mins stretching/warm ups then 5 rounds of shadow boxing in front of the mirror each round lasting 3mins and 10 pressups at the end of each round, then perhaps another 10 seconds till the next round- so fairly non stop.
Then 5 rounds of bag work (Same as shadowboxing routine with pressups etc but you are actually hitting something now)
Then 5 rounds with a trainer hitting pads/technique (this is the most intense part and you can easily run out of energy if you're not careful)
By now the session is (somehow) almost over and you do 100 knees and 100 front kicks to the bag, then 200 situps and sometimes 50 pressups aswell. Then stretches and run back 3 KM and have breakfast which for me was musli more or less every day and varying in ingredients each time, usually plenty of seeds and nuts with organic oats and soya milk along with fresh fruit from the market. You can, however; eat whatever you please (there are no rules for this) and I often had sweet Thai delacasys in the evening.
So yea, after breakfast you have no energy so you just sleep till perhaps 2 PM, then another 2 hours and half/3 hours session begins at 3:30PM with pretty much the same routine but depending on day, you do different things (such as grappling or sparring with another student)
Then I usually popped into the local market and bought fruit for my evening musli and little sweet cake things
then walk home 3KM, have my dinner (usually musli as I said which is far more varied than it sounds seeing as there would be about 15 main ingredients or if I was bored of it or felt like going out I'd eat in a restaurant) then watch a film with my room mates and go to bed between 8:30PM and 9:30PM
This routine is the same 6 days a week with variations to what we kind of fighting we do and such then on Saturday we go to the beach and do a slightly shorter session in the morning but with more time with the trainer and a few group activities which are fun.
I found it really quite hard and after 1 week rented out a push bike to instead cycle to and from training and also I had 1 hour VIP (one on one) sessions which I'd usually trade for 1 of the normal sessions in the day which tires you out as much as a 3 hour one trust me! but I'd always do at least 2 sessions (I.e a 1 hour and a 3 hour in the morning or both normal sessions)
So yea, that's my routine etc. Opinions etc welcome.
