Yesterday I was in a tournament for my local area in the mens blue and red belt heavy weight division. The guy I fought against had some very good hands and got his points on that and bulling me out of the ring. Not a single kick mind you, but anyway he must have uppercutted me 4 or 5 times before the 2 rounds was up. I learned two valuable things:
1. I have a good chin, despite chewing being a good deal harder (impossible) afterwards.
2. I need to learn to control close range or keep my opponent at long range.
Anyone else do that thing after a fight where you go over and over it thinking "if only I had done this!"? I'm feeling like a total dummy because at the end of the second round I brought out a high chamber and it stumped him, he just stopped and looked at my foot. WHY THE HELL DIDN'T I DO THAT SOONER?! I use it all the time in the dojang! Gah!
