I truly do learn something from every age and every belt
level. In yesterday’s Black Dragons
class I got the opportunity to strap on the sparring gear for a few rounds with
the kids. These gals and guys sure have
spunk! Their smaller size and quick
reflexes is a strategy that works well.
I got to feel what being the ‘big person’ in a match feels like (doesn’t
happen often). It’s a different match that’s
for sure. Although I usually think of
myself at a disadvantage in being smaller than those I normally spar with, I
can see that size doesn’t always determine who has the advantage. Larger person = larger targets. I just
need to learn how to move and find those targets. I guess I also have to figure out what to do
with the long arms and long legs, especially when the Tymchuk bonk is attachedJ
