Handkerchief Fighting
By K. Thor Jensen
Boxer Albert Griffiths, who fought under the name “Young Griffo,” wasn’t known for his offensive power. Sure, his fists could get the job done, but what made him a legend was his defense. Griffo could bob and weave like no man’s business, avoiding lightning-quick blows from the era’s best boxers. When he finally retired from the sport, he took his skills to vaudeville. Griffo would go in front of an audience, put his left foot on a handkerchief and his hands at his sides, and make bets with the audience that they could try to hit him and he would dodge every blow with his foot never leaving the handkerchief. #thetrainer #hoodriver#personaltrainer #functionaltraining #functionaltrainer#rusticparkour #psychology #muaythai #fitness #functionaltrainer #health #running #fitnessaddict #workout #cardio #mma #training #healthy #parkour #boxingfunctionaltrainingclubhoodriver #columbiarivergorge #active #strong #motivation #determination #lifestyle #getfit #fatloss #fatfighters7 #boxing
