Kickboxing - Round 2

Kickboxing is fun. Its really not what I expected. I am not sure what I expected but i didn't

expect to be fighting people every class. Its not like full out fighting, but its close enough. Its like sparring with bare fists, you dont punch as hard as you can but you are supposed to really try and hit the other guy or kick him, whichever. Im really lucky that I did that boxing before I started this, my defense is really good. So far I havent had any real mess ups where I catch a punch right in the face. The closest was a punch that knocked my own hand back into my cheek. When I spar with people usually we start off with kicks, so the other person right away starts to think IÐ'Ò'm a useless idiot. Which works out well for me because eventually they get close and are thinking my hands will be like my feet. I almost always get a few free hits in. I even knocked over some guy out of surprise, he got fancy and didn't

expect me to charge at him(that was my first class). Basically its really fun. The one thing I dont like is that we never put the gloves on. So I end up blocking punches with my hands and after the class is over my hands hurt, but I guess better the hands than my nose. So far, I have got a kick in the stomach and a kick in the shoulder. Im looking forward to my first punch right in the face, I have a feeling its going to be tomorrow.
