I punched the man who broke into my home – it came naturally [View all]
The first thing I need to make clear is that I wasn't fearless. What I felt was as close to pure terror as I ever want to get. But because I've spent two to three hours a week over the past three years doing boxing training, throwing a punch was totally natural for me. I was able to do it without thinking.
Until I started boxing training, I was like many women and thought the aim of exercise was to lose weight.
