pulled something in my knee yesterday
didn't make it to work out
today i went to muay thai.
did pad class and sparring (for the first time in months and the second time in over a year).
turns out i'm a j3rk
new guy started playing rough.
i was trying to play tag with him but he kept hitting harder and harder
just had this feeling he was getting angry
i'd catch a kick, tap his bottom leg, set his leg down and get popped in mouth.
i'd pull big, clean shots, stopping just short or barely skimming and he'd jump on me swingin.
eventually i just stopped pulling.
hit him nice in the ribs.
tried to go back to playing nice and he tried bum rushing me in the middle of a kick.
guess I flinched or something and sped the kick up, coz it caught him in the head and dropped him.
few rounds earlier i was playing with this real good guy and side kick bounced off his gloves, shot straight up, and caught him in the mouth.
few rounds afterwards i was playing with another guy, was trying to let him get his licks in too. threw a simple punch-switch kick combo and he dipped right into it while throwing an opposite side punch. flinched as he threw and caught him kinda bad as he dipped/leaned. I did try to pull it and not penetrate with the force- something i'm not sure i tried on new guy. still had to take a few seconds to let him recover.
i definitely need to learn some control.
It is kinda weird though after being the guy with no stopping power for so long.
At the moment I'm trying to recover so I can go do my first ABBH workout.
