Sparring

Sparring here has, for the most part, been encouraging. I have sparred with a variety of people and walked away in one piece. Ash, the boxer, has had a series of injuries which has precluded us from being able to spar. Or more likely for me to act as a mobile punching bag. I have only had one hard MMA sparring session. I went with Craig, a Brit who has about 20 kilos on me. But speed kills. According to the judges, everyone ringside, I was the victor. Muay Thai sparring in general is at about 10 to 20% power so its not that bad. On the grappling side I have been worked over by a variety of people. It is amazing what a difference a few concentrated years can do for your skill level. Hopefully I will be able to find a grappling style to complement my striking.
