Finally, I get to step into that ring to spar.
That scared and frighten feelings struck me just minutes before I stepped into that ring and for the first time, I used this phrase "shit just got real!" Not only that, the discomfort of the headgear and the mouth guard just made everything feel so worse.
For the first time, I truly understand what they meant by when you are in the ring:
1 - you are really on your own (even though i still have my trainer at the side telling me what to do),
2 - you can't stop to think,
3 - you wont really remember to keep your hands up,
4 - you wont really remember any combinations and worse is, you need to know exactly which combinations to use at which moment.
Maybe because I am still pretty new to sparing so the above all just happened to me.
I made it through all the three rounds and each round lasted for 2minutes. I wasn't think much throughout, just know that I have to keep hitting, keep throwing and try not to give her any chance to hit me back.
I don't know why I threw a lot of hooks and upper cuts and I felt a few of them really landed hard on her, and felt bad that I might hurt her badly but thank god she was ok and she shared with me that a few hits of mine did shock her for awhile. She hit me quite a lot of times as well but surprisingly, I really didn't feel a single pain at all. Not even one.
In short, my first spar fight was really a good experience for me and I am looking forward to more to come and more to learn as well.
"Life is a challenge, we must take it." And finally, I found the challenge that I am always seeking for in the area of sport and fitness.
