I love it. I love it. I do...
I sparred for the first time in ages tonight (following a cracked rib and knee problems). I haven't worn my fighting gloves (well, mitts) since January, so this was a big deal for me. Erm, I was a bit scared when I started but instructor N told the first man I was paired up with to back off a bit as he was going for it a bit too harshly (and he has plenty of experience, compared to me). I must admit, I'd have come off pretty badly without this intervention. The second chap was more restrained and we had a great session. I need to be far more 'solid', I know. And, of course, my technique needs plenty of work. But it was bloody brilliant. The amount of energy you expend is amazing, and you feel as high as a kite afterwards.
This was catharsis at its best, believe me.
That's great!Happy for you dear :)
ReplyDeleteTake care.Goodnight,sleep well.
Right well on that cathartic and energetic note, I suppose I'd best drag my butt to the gym!
ReplyDeleteSo great that you had a good sparring session, MD!
Thanks, Sameera. I slept like a log!! I highly recommend it...
ReplyDeleteGood on you, Vanilla. I was a lazy old thing prior to taking up the fu, but this is addictive!
ReplyDeleteI hope you had a cathartic session at the gym.
