Got beat up real good (weak stomach? skip this one)

[roundhouse]

I was sparring tuesday night and chose an opponent that was more than a match for me. I outweighed him by 20# but I am 2X his age and I am definitely slow compared to these young athletic fellas i train with.

I attempted to use experience over his speed. didn't pan out for me at all LOL

i went to slip what I thought was an incoming left hook, it was not. it was an upper cut. so i was moving right into the punch. I managed to throw a jab and back him off and just covered up. he let me off the hook and backed off when he saw the blood.

the aftermath..............broken nose........again.

my wife is pissed as 2 years ago i had a full nasal reconstruction after a really bad broken nose. Oh well its my hobby.

found that little flappy thing that attaches my lip to my gum was torn too.
also an older pic of what happens to a leg in Muay Thai Boxing

anybody else train?

 

[CrazyCawi]

omg....that looks pretty intense...what type of sparring do you engage in?

 

[Dunkirk]

Hey Roundhouse, open tournament or dojomate? Back when I was doing karate a dojomate of mine got me in the nose pretty good, but didn't break it, just bled. I kinda, but not fully know how you feel.

Which is why I stopped doing full contact martial arts myself 5 years ago. Tore out my ACL in a match.

As John Travolta said in the movie Michael, "BATTLE". MMA is brutal. Glad I'm old and carry an equilizer. I couldn't take a good ol' fashion arse woopin' :surrender:. I have to be at work tomorrow.
