Tonights workout was very sparring intensive. I was a bit weary about trying something like this during the phase where I’m technically supposed to be letting myself heal, but try it I did.
I discovered some key points about my sparring tonight… my speed dial seems to also inversely control my tension dial. When I try to slow down, I tense up and get all rigid. When I relax, I can’t go slow. I felt like a retarded donkey tonight while I was trying to slow spar and do three to five. I couldn’t get in properly, my hands were ALL over the place and I couldn’t make my body behave itself.
Only once did I compress my index finger… I punched Erbe’s guard with a loose fist, which *really* hurt for about ten seconds. The strange thing about this injury is that it doesn’t hurt at all when my hand is in a tight fist, but when I’m sparring relaxed that is not always a guaranteed event. I hate being hurt. I always feel like a steel-belted radial vagina whenever I have to pause because of injury. I hate missing class, and I hate having to baby myself.
This is the first time in awhile I’ve had something that hurts longer than two weeks… the last time this happened was last January when I had that back injury. It just boils down to the fact that I hate not training. But it’ll get better. Just as soon as these fingers fall off.
