| We spar, depending on the experience of the opponent in class depends on how hard.
Newbies is non contact.
junior belts very light contact.
medium belts light contact.
senior belts, as much contact as we both agree on.
Sometimes we have conditioning classes where we cant block just to teach us not to flinch from a face punch (close your eyes cant see the next one coming) or to breath properly for body strike. My pain endurance has risen remarkably, but I still bruise really easily. spend the fllowing day comparing bruises LOl |
