Last night I sparred for the second time. I boxed with two black belts, one who... even though he probably wasn't going full speed... has been boxing/fighting his whole life. I wasn't wowing anybody with amazing skills, but I held my own. I learned that I can take punches without getting emotional or being too upset about it. I learned what it feels like to get hit square in the nose. I learned what it feels like to get hit "on the button". I had a lights out moment where my legs went wobbly and couldn't move my arms... but I recovered and kept going. I also learned that keeping my chin tucked is SUPER important. Why? Because sometimes you get hit in the throat... which is what happened to me. I left myself open and got clocked. I lost my breath, felt like I was choking. It was pretty scary, but I'm ok now. Tuck your chin!! I had a bit of a headache, but for the most part, I'm perfectly fine. I got in a handful of good shots myself so I feel pretty good about Saturday.
