The Ambassador

Ok, lets delve into the Group.

The first person to greet you from the group is the Ambassador.
We should send this guy to the Middle East. We would get peace in record time.
The first time I showed up, I was greeted and at each station, he would demonstrate what we were trying to accomplish.
I have watched him over the past many months and he offers this assistance to any and all new people.
He explains, demonstrates and partners with the new recruits during the first and sometimes the second class they attend.
He plays a “mean” air guitar, burns the re-mix CD’s, repairs the broken jump ropes, helps set up the various “torture (I mean training) stations and is just an all around good human being.
He is an avid golfer, puts in hours at his place of work but is primarily addicted to exercise.
His agility on the speed bag is useful as he works out complicated routines. Some of these have included elbows and the forehead. The bag won the forehead routine, leaving significant abrasions.
I haven’t seen that routine in awhile.
Jumping rope is hard but this guy makes it look easy.
He is superb on the mitts and makes the heavy bag groan with repeated body shots.
He is the “big brother” to the ladies in the class and is often the driver when the group goes out for “THE PARTEE”.
I think somewhere in his “gut”, he would love to spar with some real boxers and maybe play in the ring for real but right now is perfecting his endurance, punching ability and ring agility for the ultimate goal of health. I know of no other exercise as hard as “training for a bout”. Just keeping the hands up for 15 three-minute rounds while continuously moving around a square “ring” (I don’t understand that) would wear out even the most highly trained athlete.
Keep up the good work, Mr. Ambassador and if Hilary needs a sub for her globe trotting peace making, I would like to recommend you.
