Sparring

To be honest I am writing this blog only because of this picture. And by no means does it have anything to do with my journey towards mastery. (Ok well it might)
Sparring can be one of the scarier things in the martial arts or it can be one of the funner (I know that is not a real word Mom) aspects in the arts, when it is done a safe comfortable environment.
Ok sparring when it is not so much fun, in my opinion is when you dread going there knowing that you’re going to have your but handed to you again, end up being bruised and potentially injured. Now that is not fun and who would want to keep going back to something like that.
Now sparring when it is fun, again in my opinion is when you can’t wait to put on the pads, square off with your opponent, knowing that your opponent has no intentions on hurting you orfear of being hurt themselves, your weaknesses are shown and your skill has been improved. You leave with a smile on your face and sense of accomplishment in your stride, along with anticipation for the next time you get to spar. That is how I see and feel the Sanshou class has become for me.
