Like Hand in Glove

If you've ever wondered how boxing and martial arts might blend, then you're not alone. And in case you're wondering - yes, they fit together like hand in glove (pun intended).

Story:
Ana Julaton happily spends six days a week as a sensei teaching self-defense to men, women and children.

But at night, the 25-year-old puts on headgear, dons gloves and becomes an aggressive, determined, relentless attacker ... in the boxing ring.

"I wasn't a fan of boxing growing up," Julaton said before her Tuesday workout. "It didn't make sense to me that a bunch of athletes would go into the ring and try to knock the tar out of each other.

"But Angelo Reyes showed me how scientific it is ... it's more than you think," she added. "I saw parallels between martial arts and boxing. It's beautiful if done correctly."
