Sparring with Bigger Beginner

lol glut man!? did you up with that on your own?

Anyways don't let the anticipation of that fight turn you into a ball of nerves, besides it sounds like you're excited about it.

I'll try to have a post something on the speed bag tomorrow, I already have a couple pages on it and I still have more that I want to cover. ;D

I'll post some ideas on visualization tomorrow when I have some spare time. Why don't you check out the Search feature, type in "visualize" or "imagin" with "Andre" as the username that you're looking up. You'll find some interesting ideas there. ;)

Actually Von came up with that himself so if you are saying it's weak it's not me you're paying out! :)

As for the visualization stuff i'm really thinking competition and nerves management specific stuff so don't write too much general stuff just for me (assuming I'm that special :)) but I'd be interested to see what you come up with.

Dude,an elbow in sparring isnt cool,not one iota
What if the guyy had busted your nose right out of an upcoming fight?

See i gotta a lil scar tissue on my left temple and my first instinct WAS that he bust it open. But then i went to the body. I MEANT to hurt him, I Meant to lay him out in sparring. Makes me jus as bad as he is.

I think you're a little hard on yourself - someone cuts open my face with an illegal elbow, especially someone bigger because they're frustrated and not feeling threatened themselves.

I think you're being nice going to the body where (unless I'm wrong?) there's less chance of inflicting permanent damage.

What was your other option in that kind of close range against someone bigger? You can't wrestle a bigger person who is already on top of you unless you know some good throws and they'd be hard with sparring gloves on.

Maybe you could have said something but if he's elbowing you would that mean he might not be in the frame of mind to hear you?

This may sound bad
But I teach the illegal shit
I want my fighters to know when theyre being set up for it,or how do save their ass with it when its needed
They do it against eachother for real,Ill kill em,and they all know that

See my left hook to the body is my pet punch...I practice it for hours upon end. I no that if i were to land that hook on any person they feel it, anyway we've sparred since and he's not taking anymore liberties ;)
I could do with you as a coach trainer monkey im a lil innocent when it comes to that stuff. And the older im getting the more im runnin into it!

Meh,he took an elbow at your head on purpose,the rules have allready been relaxed,dont sweat it.If I was your trainer,and I saw that,Id have either stopped it there to ream the guy out,or laughed my butt off at the body punch
Let me guess,it looked like a normal hook,then at the last second,it cranked over in to an elbow?

He was throwin like a right straight and i swayed back slightly but the elbow caught me so in that respect i guess its mos likely to have been intentional.
Sparring since then iv bin a lot less lenient with him, and although i no its only sparring im making sure to land 2 or 3 hard punches each round :P

Thats not only intentional,thats freaking blatant.
If your going to do that type of crap,at least try to hide it

Least i wasnt cut, im pretty paranoid about that scar tissue.
