Butterfly Boxing: Butterfly Level 1 Finale in Motion!

Ordinary Women Doing Extraordinary Things

2006-11-29T14:07:00.000+10:00

Over the years, I have come across many people who don’t realize how extraordinary they are. Who are these Extraordinary Women? They could be standing right next to you.

In fact, it IS You.

I am sometimes awestruck by the strength, courage and intelligence of the Women I encounter. And yet the part that I see is just a small portion of these seemingly normal Women’s lives.

For Example, the Lady who is successfully raising her family while working full time at the local school and manages her own business hand crafting educational tools. She does this while lovingly assisting her husband to run his business and painstakingly maintaining a lovely home and garden. Where does she get her energy from?

Another example, the Lady who works tirelessly to give her family what they need, she keeps a healthy and loving relationship with her husband and children, and manages to give time, energy and hands on assistance to those who she sees has no one else to care for them. In her spare time she even manages to volunteer as a cook for a week long youth camp of 100+

Perhaps the biggest example that I have seen played out in my life is this-

The Woman who raised 12 children virtually single handedly, a Master of Economy, a Home Maker of outstanding skill, a Teacher who taught most of her children to read very early, a devoted mother who woke her young children at 5.30am every morning to take them to the gym to help one of the youngest (who was struck lame by Rheumatic Fever) to grow strong again, a loving grandmother of 25. A woman who works tirelessly for her family and her grandchildren, A Woman of Courage, Conviction and Faith. My Mother.

The point of my story is this- All around us, there are people who are doing the most amazing things. We are surrounded by people who are achieving amazing things, in life, career, family, business, sport, who never recognize their own worth.

If you could see ourselves through the eyes of others of those who are close to us, would you be amazed just how much we are admired, respected and loved?

This actually brings me to the other point of my story – REWARDING THYSELF. As we each are remarkable, unique, hardworking and very special, why do we find it hard sometimes to see the value of what we do and achieve?

Completing our 6 Week Challenge is an achievement and you DESERVE A REWARD for being courageous and strong. What will your reward be?

Australian Light Welterweight Champion - Chris McCullen

2006-08-31T11:17:00.000+10:00

Congratulations to Chris McCullen, the new Australian Light Welterweight Champion. Your hard work and dedication has paid off Chris and we are all so proud of your extraordinary acheivements. It can now be revealed that 4 weeks out from this fight, Chris suffered from a broken hand and was unable to use it to train with. This did not stop him from intensive training and prepraration, Chris never had it in his mind to reschedule or quit. He did however, do everything possible to ensure that his hand healed as quickly as possible by using a variety of treatments, including accupuncture. Chris was able to battle through any kind of mental disadvantage that very well could have been a down fall for him, by staying focused and positive on his goal of winning the Australian Title. As a Coach, it has been a real pleasure to work with Chris and I admire his strength, dedication and open mindedness to be the best that he can. Well done Chrisee.

Opposition- A Necessary Condition

2006-08-23T08:08:00.000+10:00

I remember a part of this song I learnt when I was a shortie (much taller now).
I don’t recall who wrote the song but here goes……

OPPOSITION
….. You can never know the good, if you've never known the bad
….. You can never be happy, if you’ve never been sad
….. You’ve got to taste the bitter, so you can know the sweet,
….. You’ve got to be hungry, to be glad that you can eat

…… You’ve got to be sick, to be grateful for your health
…… You’ve got to need money to appreciate wealth
…… You’ve got to know the problems, so you can rise above
…… You’ve got to be lonely so that you can know Love…..
…… It’s called Opposition, A Necessary Condition..

Australian Junior Welterweight Title

2006-08-20T18:34:00.000+10:00

This coming Friday Night will be the Australian Junior Welterweight Title Fight between Chris McCullen and Brad Hemming. Chris McCullen (Alias Macca, Maxi, The Little Big Man, and Chrisee), is a true favourite of the Brisbane Boxing set, for his dedication and commitment to the sport and to the Amateur Champions that he trains in his gym at Logan.

Huia is proud to have coached Chris through his preparation for his Australian title fight. As any athlete knows, you have to push yourself through the pain barrier, time and time again to prepare your body and your mind for a battle.

Chris has been extremely honest about his experiences, the High of knowing that you couldn't possibly push yourself harder, physically or emotionally, and the Low points that coincide with the stress of trying to balance a normal life with the extreme training and strictly controlled diet of a Fighter.

One common thing that I have observed about high performing athletes, is a consistent and undeniable vision of WINNING, and the self-knowledge that they have
pushed beyond the boundaries of endurance & fear to break new ground.

I, along with many of Chris's supporters will be there to cheer him on Friday. But it is a fact that very few will understand or can appreciate the personal sacrifices that come from striving to be the very best. One thing I do know though, is that Chris is a deserving WINNER no matter what the outcome is.

"You have to feel the Lows to appreciate the Highs"

Rightcross Boxing Training

2006-06-10T03:28:00.000+10:00

Rightcross The Boxing Specialists in Brisbane. Boxing Training in Brisbane is light years ahead of the pack with their unique style and down to earth training techniques. With experience and attitudes that can't be duplicated by a trainer who hasn't actually been a professional boxer, the Rightcross trainers give you in depth knowledge and solid defensive and attacking techniques.

Boxing has long been thought to be only for the hard! This is a myth that is rapidly being dispelled by the sheer number of people (teams, women & youths) who are learning about the discipline, fitness levels and health benefits that boxing training can provide.

I recommend boxing training to anyone who wants to increase their levels of fitness, reduce stress and strengthen their whole body. More importantly, I recommend taking advantage of good trainers who are able to take the time to really teach you the art of the sport, rather than just let you bang away at a bag or on the pads.

While I have been training with the Rightcross team, I have experienced great physical benefits. Better endurance, strength and a reduction in shoulder pain that has plagued me from my basketballing days.

I have had more injuries playing netball than I have boxing! Check out www.rightcross.com.au to see training programs and schedules for the best boxing training in Brisbane.
