Dan Csaszar qualifies for the Canadian National Championships to be held February 2010 in Halifax, N.S.

It has been difficult for Coach Schubert to find a BC fighter willing to step in to the ring with 17 year old Dan Csaszar,
and the BC Championships, just held in Kelowna, was not exception.
With no other boxers showing up to fight in Dan's 75Kg weight class, he became Blue Corner Boxing's first
Provincial Champion and will represent BC at the Nationals.

No-shows for Dan & Dave in Seattle, Washington.

The trip across the border to Seattle, for a two day tournament, was a disappointing no-show for Dan Csaszar
& Dave Dimen; however, it turned out to be a great introduction to the sport of boxing.

After the no-shows, schedules were rearranged, and a new fight for Dave was set up
for that day and another bout the following day.

Both boxers were more experienced than Dave and this was his first boxing match ever.

Dave's first round did not go as planned. Nerves and stress took their toll on Dave as his more experienced opponent
took control from the bell. Dave trained hard for what was to be his first bout; however, training and stepping in
the ring are two different worlds. Dave was learning this quickly and took a lot of hits in the first round.

Coach Schubert let him know that if was unable to start his fight in the next round that he would throw in the towel.

One minute in to the second round and Coach Schubert threw in the towel. Dave was taking too many punches
to the head and it was just a matter of time until the referee would have stopped the fight, as he was watching closely already.

Coach Schubert always says that what is practiced in the gym is what needs to be taken to the ring.
Dave learned this the hard way in his first bout. It's all part of the art of boxing – a lot of training and
a sometimes difficult introduction to the ring that every fighter needs to pass through.

Coach Schubert and Dave are training for his next bout.
