Between the dates of , I completed the Steer Clear Driving Education course. This course was taught by Ian Flemming who is a driving instructor . Over the 13 weeks, we had classes from 5:15pm -6:30pm in one of the classrooms available each evening. In these classes, Ian taught us facts and key information that we needed to know before any experience on the road. He would display the information on powerpoint slides and would often show us videos relating to the newly learnt information. After each class he would give us a test so we could refresh our memory on what we learnt . We did a lot of activity in steer clear . One of the activities we did was replacing a flat tire. Ian brought us step by step as to how to take off the wheel, rise the car with a jack and unscrewing the screws off the wheel. By the 13 weeks came to an end, we sat a final 50 question exam to help determine how well we learnt during the course. If we completed the exam and got 35 or more questions answered correctly, we would pass the course and receive a 100 euro voucher for our first car insurance payment. Overall I really enjoyed the Steer Clear Driving Education. I hope to further my driving skills in the future.
Boxing
On November 20th I started the boxing course. It is a six week long program run by Neil Bowman from blackrock boxing club. I partnered up with hubie for most of it . Throughout the course we learned all the different types of punches that are thrown in boxing and how to block . We learned about all the different combo punches as well. We did all of this while working on our fitness levels with a mixture of runs, sprints, and abs workouts. This experience definitely increased my fitness level. On the last day I got to fight Ben hogan. It was a good fight , we both got some punches in . I found the whole thing very enjoyable .
