we were doing head movement earlier in the class and i was working with an orthodox fighter.
this guy's a southpaw.
southpaws mess up other southpaws more than the mess up orthodox fighters.
all my reactions were basically wrong.
i did something and the kid lost his cool.
started throwing bombs on me in the corner.
I slipped a couple
guess he got frustrated, because he hammer fisted me on the base of my skull.
lights went out for a split second, as soon as my knee hit the canvas, it woke me back up.
I was on my feet in seconds, but slightly dizzy.
They gave me a few seconds to recover and gave me some headgear, then we were back at it.
Sparred one more guy later on - we had an agreement to take it easy to the head; still caught him throwing a few shots up top - but at least they weren't bombs so it was all good.
got a lot to work on.
hate to brush off the flash KD but i think almost anyone hit in that spot woulda had the same experience - his targeting was perfect.
