I sparred a college football player last night and I got rocked with a freaking jab. I asked myself that very question. Then I thought, "This is going to be a long night."
Not really. Whenever I've been rocked I just started firing back trying to keep my hands coming back to my chin.
But I have been GnP so badly, while having my submissions stuffed, that I had to ask myself that question. I really don't think there's any shame in it, it's just how you choose to deal with it. Everyone will have to think about it at some point.
i thought i was the only one to ask myself that.. i was so ashamed i instantly fired back.. it helped that my opponent was not only bigger than i, but also a pro..
It's mostly the ridiculous dieting and the fact that I can never just do things normally, like go out and have a beer with my friends, that make me think that. Getting rocked I always just switch into survival mode though.
The hardest I ever got rocked was by my friend's (amateur boxer) UNTRAINED cousin.
I'm a small dude like Zambidis size but lighter.
This guy maybe 5'7, 150 at most...
Dude's right straight was like a train from hell. (he didn't know what light sparring meant)
This punch still the most that I got "HURT" from, more than the headkicks I suffered at my Muay Thai gym to this date (I've been rocked about 3 times from headkicks at this current gym).
Agreed! There are plenty of days when I ask myself "Why the fuck didnt i just take up Golf or Tennis, getting the shit beat out of me for sport.... i must be out my damn mind?" ......... Then a lazy grin comes across my face and I start looking forward to doing it all over again! Ehhh, it starts as a hobby but eventually becomes a habit!
