survived

Survived fight night. Finally tally was: 0-wins, 2-ties, 1-loss. All-in-all, pretty happy with that. The last match (which I lost) I was so bloody exhausted it was unreal. The fights only last 90 seconds, but they are draining.

The first fight was kind of funny. It was against a green-belt (2 levels up on me) and he kept coming in fast with his kicks. I resigned myself to having to block them with my shins, and MY GOD, they were bruised the next day. I think it must have hurt his legs too, cuz he stopped trying it pretty quick.

Couldn't get my hands on a digital cam to take pics of the damage, but I'm sure there'll be further opportunities.

Nice man! So, you don't get to wear shin guards?

is yelling considered cheating? Like, can you yell "oh my god! my arm! I think it's broken" and then the dude comes over to see if you're okay, then you pop up and kick his ass.

that's what I'd do. or.... I don't know.

I think that may be allowed. But at this stage I don't have the full set of gear. For now, it's lots and lots and lots of ice :-)

Thanks for the suggestion MB. Yelling doesn't quite work since you have a pastic face shield covering your face, but I did try some re-direction moves. Fake with the hand and kick with the foot.
