Sparring 09.08.14 - Thai shorts = aggression

Small class sparring on Saturday, meant we had the full dojo space to chase each other round. Darren (long hair), Mats (black gloves) and myself (tattoos) in attendance. Paul (coach) took the opportunity to referee/corner rather than spar with us so we just rotated in for 2 rounds, out for 1 and repeat. It was really good to get real time feedback as we worked but i still found it incredibly hard to get past Mats jab. Got the black eye today to prove it. He's a good counter fighter with slightly off beat timing and long reach. I ketp trying to box my way inside and it really didnt work. Next week, use kicks and faints and dont chase him unless there is an opening.
