i am pretty busted up

[jipped genes]

Tweettook a pawing jab finger to the eye Wednesday night when i sparred (this guy got the best of me for sure) my eye got infected i have to put antibiotic drops in it every 3 hours and at least once in the middle of the night.

my left shin looks like it has golf balls cut in half under the skin that are black and blue.

left quad is sore and weak.

my guts pretty much got scrambled from the knees, lower ribs are sore when i breathe, bend over to put on my shoes or just sit still LOL

oh my forearms look like someone took a bat to them. he threw alot of body kicks with his left so the right side of my body has bruising too so i am symetrical

and my neck hurts. i dont think it was from punches to the head but from the clenching up when the knees hit. i think i pulled muscles in my own neck.

i took today off training. going to go in tomorrow and work out light.

why do i have the desire to spar this guy again? i see places where i can definately capitalize but in past experience recognizing a mistake and capitalizing on it are two very different things. i am sure the results will be similar but i have to try. maybe in a couple weeks.

but i did go 3-3 minute rounds. my cardio is getting better. anybody in combat sports knows 9 minutes is an eternity for a weekend warrior. i can roll for 45 minutes but its diff than striking. it never stops and my body is having to react explosively over and over in muay thai. in BJJ i seem to be in the right place at the right time and conserve gas.

damn its fun i wish i had started early like my son. he is working on his blue belt in BJJ and has a year of thai boxing at 12 years old

TweetJipped your age brother. Do you wear shin gaurds or forearm pads. They even have quad pads. How about head gear. The thing with me is yeah I know my age and I know some your kid will do cirlcles around me but with all of us here that are over the hill,lol we have power and still can connect. But I would rather be safe when sparring then to go full balls out and wake up the next day in pain.Theres no shame on wearing pads and you dont have to go 100%

TweetDamn, sounds like youre going to be ok. Thats awesome. You will come back stronger and better next time. No doubt 9 minutes is a lifetime when taking and delivering shots like that. I dont do it anymore , but it is something you never forget. Holy crap. Keep up the good work. thats serious

i wear shin guards and head gear.

i took off BJJ today to heal up. gonna go train light weds night. all the bruises have turned that greenish color around the edges.

a vendor i have helped out many times came in today for a permit and asked me how i got bruised up. i lowered my head and said "she loves me, I just make her angry sometimes" he has met my wife (she aint big and certainly isnt physical) there was an awkward silence and i started talking shop again. i got called away and he was gone when i came back LOL. he thinks my wife beats me
