Mental Commentary during Gentle Sparring
Jun. 16th, 2011 08:58 pm"Ok, do something."
"No really, do something."
"HOLY FUCKING SHIT THAT WAS HIS FOOT BY MY HEAD!!!"
"EEEEEKK!! DODGE BLOCK DODGE BLOCK!!"
"Ok, this is actually challenging."
"AAAAA!!! WATCH THE KICKS!! WATCH THE KICKS!!"
"Man, if this was real I'd be on the floor bleeding and unconscious by now."
"DAMN! Can't I land ONE?"
"Wow, this is SO MUCH FUN!!!"
"HAH! Blocked THAT kick, YIKES!"
"I am totally loving this."
"Uh-oh, getting a little dizzy"
And that was when Sensei stepped in and had me switch partners. The slight break gave me just enough time to realize I was starting to have vision problems. I went to get a drink of water and it didn't help, so I sat out the rest of the sparring session. My fingers were purply splotched and shaking and I could NOT stop grinning.
Needless to say, that wasn't gentle sparring. That was all out competition sparring and I was thoroughly trounced by a geeky looking brown belt with about 10" and maybe 30 pounds on me.
Such a blast.
