"Ha! You had me going for a minute there my friend! Sounds good! I am gonna be competing as well. I'm looking to make some extra cash and get my name out there. I'm not the greatest at striking either, but we can all help each other. Welcome to the team!" John shook Jorge's hand and was very excited for what is to come. 

"Maybe we can afford to put a cage in here before too long. Right now all I have is these mats and old bags. Anyway, let's get some workouts in." 

John put his mouthpiece back in and put his 16oz gloves back on. He headed over to the bags and begab striking them again. Just going around 50%. He was never one to try to impress anyone. He started laying in the power kicks eventually and they made a loud THWAP! when connecting with the bag. John also had a habit of yelling with his strikes to ensure he tightened his core up.
