Coach told me I had natural ability tonight for

[Blackvenom-2001]

blocking jabs with my face... heck he didn't have to tell me that I already knew it...

Just one of the ohhhh so hilarious comments I heard tonight while sparring...

Another one...

Coming from a very good amatuer/semi-pro fighter... while I am sparring and in the ring...

Your too stiff... get up on your toes... you look like a robot in there... (So I start doing my bob and weave)... ok now you look like a bobbing robot....

That one actually cracked the whole gym up... even me... I about lost my mouth-piece... while blocking another jab with my face...

It's just the comments like these that create the feeling of 'home'... I love my boys in the gym... took awhile for them to accept me... but there all there to help me and I thank them for that...

On a serious note... missed a straight right shot at an opponent and hyper-extended my arm... over committed... it's not bad and by tomorrow morning should feel almost fine...

Sparring went well... loved it... chewing gum right now to keep my jaw from stiffening up from a really nasty shot that I took early on in the evening...

Loving life...

I can top that - worked out this morning that I have a tendency to slip INTO jabs. So you think you're gonna miss me - No you're not I caught it right on the button for you!

[Blackvenom-2001]

Dang now that does take skill I don't think I can move my head fast enough to slip into a Jab...

Hmmmm...if you're slipping makes me wonder if someone doesn't have your slip timed and is aiming for where you will be...

Care to elaborate?

I guess they owe it to you to be the one to put the joke on.

Could be worst than what even Sharla's got... think about if you could jump into low blows.

They say the heavybag doesn't hit back, but it always hits me right in the fists.

LOL, I do that myself sometimes! Once I get into the rhythm of doing it I know it's gonna be a long night!

I'm also guilty of that. Damn near slipped into a right hand. That would have been bad

[Sharla]

Yep Glad I'm not the only one who does that

I think Cortez has come up with the best explanation of it so far as to why I do it.

I do have one particular sparring partner who knows me very well too. Sometimes it's very boring to watch us spar because we both defend everything and nothing we throw connects because we're so used to each other.

Sometimes I guess my game is off though and I run into things. If I work out a theory as to why I do it in any more depth I'll share it and post it here for opinions

Been there too but with a straight rising heel kick comming from underneath arm action.

Instant introduction to the inner universe

Ouch! At least I know I'm not the only one!
