What's up.. So today was a crazy day at the gym... we did a real intense 30min. work out.... then went right to sparring...I remember saying on my Day 1 in the gym thread that I wanted to train for at least 2 weeks first before sparring because I knew my stamina was shot!.. but a poster on here insisted that I just start sparring now... so thats what I did...
[Keep in mind that this is my first time really sparring in 7/8 years.. I sparred a friend last yr for fun when I was going to have a fight but that show canceled and I stopped preparing]
Rd.1 is vs tall strong kid... my plan was just to counter, try not to get caught with anything hard... and not throw many combos just land 1 shot counters because I knew the second I threw a combo I would be done stamina wise for the rest of the rd. lol (my stamina right now is really only good for like the first 50seconds to a minute of a rd as of right now)
Rd.2 is vs a Pro (MMA/Boxer) he didn't have headgear on so I said forget this I'm not wearing headgear either... I knew I could outbox him (first 50 seconds before gassing lol) Coach said you sure u dont want headgear? u should get your headgear.. I said nah I can outbox him, til I get tired lol.. he said alright then
This rd. was rough man.. he was wild.. and I was tired.. so I was just trying to survive without getting KO'd lol.. we weren't suppose to be going hard but I guess after tagging him a lil in the beginning and the coach being shocked sayin very good very good patrick.. good patrick ...that made him want to brawl.. Glad I recorded though so now I know what to work on.. not turning and running to get away from being trapped in ropes, that looks bad.. so ill work on that.. and my stamina... because Im sure if I had gas to really go... I would have just picked him apart the whole rd. but I couldn't do that with nothing in the tank... and my fav. part was when I hit him with that RJJ move.. and the coach recognized it.. def going to pull that move out fight night
so all in all... not too bad considering I haven't been in there in nearly a decade and these guys been training and already in shape... I have 8 weeks to go... so looking forward to seeing how I progress.. long way to go
