Thanks Monkey. I'll play around with that nest time I'm in the gym and see if I understand what you mean. I get the impression moving sideways works well but I didn't think of it in terms of female biomechanics. Thanks for the new perspective.

Bitching is healthy to a point I think. Otherwise you'll just want to kill him even more if you don't get it off your chest right? Hope he didn't break her nose. She'll have to put on the light gloves herself one day when he's tired but she's fresh and bash him herself I guess some beginner dudes just don't understand that bashing the midget capitalizing on brute force alone doesn't make them the greatest .... or even better - just wankier!

Perhaps he might even understand the importance of demonstrating control a little more if his sparring is reduced until he has it. Still some people have a screw loose somewhere too.

I had my nose broken in sparring ages ago by a heavyweight who could tap away gently until he felt embarrassed and then would just rip in a few hard ones. I sparred him three times and every time it ended in me bleeding. This was in a past club and he has since been banned by my current club because he loses his temper with everyone.
