072514 Smoker #2

This Saturday, I did my second smoker.  I was extremely nervous.  More nervous than I've ever been for a fight.  I have been in the gym training and training hard, but I haven't had a full sparring session in soooo long.  So, I was nervous that my reflexes and fighting in general would be more than sub par.  But, Coach Mark insisted and I did it. And I'm glad that I did.

When they say trust your training, in which ever sport it may be, you should really trust your training. 

I know I gave her the first round for sure.  She came in guns blazing, and I was just trying to settle in for the a good portion of the first round.  After that, I was good.  I settled in and got to work.  Rewatching the footage, I know I should've thrown my right kick so much more.  I don't know why I didn't.  I let my arms fly more this time...thankfully.  And I was able to get in a good knee.  Totally proud of myself for that one. 

All in all, I was definitely happy with my performance.  Next time, I'll be sure to get more sparring sessions in. 

Here's the footage, enjoy!
