well, finally got my first win in a sparring match!
#martial arts#my instinct is to minimize it#like I was up against a kung fu guy much smaller than me and I think it may have been his first time competing#he seemed nervous and easily intimidated#but also like the first time was a draw. then we had extra time. then another extra time. then finally I won#so I'm probably talking shit if I say 'ah it was an easy opponent I deserve no credit for this'#if it was really that easy why didn't I just get it the first time!#truth is I also was nervous#and it took a minute to figure him out and get a strategy#once I had it I just kept doing like one thing over and over?#he did not seem to learn a lesson from it?#so it felt easy after that#and definitely easy compared to the other fight#that guy was huge but also fast and a kickboxer and extremely pummelly#I am rather surprised how well my nose has survived given my terrible habit of dropping my hands#and getting like 7 punches errytime#still. not bad#seems scarier from the outside#except when your opponent has no force restraint#second guy will go and go and you will definitely receive impact but he's not tryna break your bones y'know#I lost against him twice lol. for point sparring and continuous both
