thanks for the reply! i know its obviously a natural reaction to protect your eyes and would be near impossible to overcome completely, it wasnt certain punches that would do it it was just abit random really.

thats an interesting concept the chinese use! did you have any success with it? is it actually splashing water into the eyes or just infront of them? i'll have to try it one time if i get the opportunity.

i won my first fight and got an odd stoppage in my 2nd against the home fighter that noone seemed to understand. im gettin the dvd's somtime next week so i may have some more questions after ive seen it back.

thanks for your advise anyway mate.
