Adventures in Sparring
I almost didn’t go to Kung Fu tonight because for some reason my knee started to really bother me out of the blue and I could hardly walk. I was a good little cohort though and stuck around to give it my all.
I went up against this one dude that I usually slug it out with when sparring time started. We usually end up hurting each other pretty bad but tonight took the Chinese Food. Not cake. Get it? Kung-Fu.
Anyway he went to kick me but yours truly blocked it and countered with a fist in the stomach.. just barely. My arm really hurt after that block from his shin, but his shin hurt pretty bad from my arm. Yin-Yang baby. I took a look at my arm and at first thought that I broke the bone because there was a pretty gnarly lump there. I rubbed it out and finished the bout, but unfortunately after that him and I went to do some punch/block drills. Yeah, that really felt great on my forearm. I do hope it leaves a cool mark or something though. The swelling in the pic is a lot less than what it looked like at first unfortunately.
On a side note, today is my first day with no medical insurance. Ah the life of a Contractor!
