me and g-town were discussing a time and place to set up a speed bag hang a couple months ago but it never happened. golds gym in fishkill,ny was a possibility. If any plans get set up we'll definitely let the forum know.
Jimmyspeed - Juxt - Ataraxis Things are still stirring, I hope to get to the bottom of all the politics soon. It seems to me our sport is still a mystery to a lot of people. I sent a nice Email to "Golds" out lining our craft and the web sight from SB2010 - 2011 maybe our skills did'nt score high...smile on that onewhat ever the reason, I am still pushing forward to getting a spot to show case our talents. Juxt-Ataraxis-Jimmyspeed I will be in contact.

I know there is a gathering for immortals and "....there can be only one"
(Pun intended)
Most Gold's Gym's I have seen do not have speed bags or boxing, but I think that is locally determined. Back in 1995 I attended the Gold's Gym convention in Las Vegas, representing Hitman Boxing. They had the contract for boxing equipment in Gold's Gym at the time.
By the beginning of the first century A.D., boxing had been forbidden and would not be seen again in the sports world until the eighteenth century in Great Britain. The first recorded English boxing champion was James Figg, who fought in the early part of the 1700s. Figg was followed by Jack Broughton in the mid century. Broughton was considered a master of blocking, parrying, and hitting on the retreat. In 1743, Broughton created a boxing code of conduct called the London Prize ring rules. (The rules were later revised and became known as the Revised London Prize Ring rules.) When Broughton's patron, the Duke of Cumberland, asked him to teach some of his well-to-do friends to box, Broughton devised special gloves, or mufflers, so that these "gentlemen" would not injure their hands.
Oh... a little rope-a-dope spamming.... tricky! Well played sir (I think not!)
