mmm the spine punch. I took one this week, shocked my body similar to getting rocked. good fun.
ok, how about a maximum head protection headgear, for those of us who have been concussed and want to preserve our brains?
hell if I remember my first spar. that was a long time ago.
3 minutes, 1 minute rest. open class is 3 minute rounds now, so only novices fight 2's. 1 minute rest, we push our conditioning outside of sparring.
