enough teef to chew it?
Posted On 03/05/2008 22:52:45 by Zero
 alright guys i guess i have more people that care than i thought so, ill tell you how my thursday went. now i wieght very close to 200 lbs right now and the guy i usualy spar with wieghts 230 and he is related to the master so naturly he is over 6 feet tall and veyr muscular, but mitch ( a 20 year old kid who thinks he is an olymic champion) is very fast but when he kicks it dosent really hurt anyone, what he has in speed he loses in power so im not sure what he would do in a real fight or the kickboxing matches we share so i spard him first, i was not tired as i ate alot and it digested already so i was fine, my specailty is power and deffence, i get kicked it dosent hurt much because i train muy thai, ive devoloped a way of deffence called breaking where blocking with cirtian parts of the body will hurt the attacker and you will come out fine. and so i have an easy time wqith bigger opponents. well basicly i came in for a #3 fast kick and his speed mixed with a jump spin hook kick hooked me with his heel to my jaw, but as i said....deffence and he dosent kick hard, so i was not brought to my knees but instead only stuned by his speed....... i was ashamed of myself as thought i felt i was not worthy to where my belt, he is a second dan and close to third but still... i felt a sorrow that i couldnt even feel if my own father died i felt defeat and the master ( closest thing to my father) asured me that if i train in speed more i will " pwn" him
 after this i put much more effort into my training
 and this is what came from my defeat

interesting but we are not all the best, there is always someone that can come along that could be better. Just because you lost a sparring match doesnt mean you are not good. Competition sparring is mainly about point scoring at the end of the day and being quick and fast is a great advantage over having just power and even skill. You could have the best power and defense techniques in the world but if he moves faster than you he will hit you first.


 


There is no shame is losing, infact in training sparring i would prefer to lose as shows what i am doing wrong and i can correct the problem ready for the real thing.


 


Winning feels so much better when you dont win all the time.
