Fighter's journey May 26

tonight could be called sparring with the Big Boys.  We had Paul who is like 6'6" but feels like he is 10 ft tall. Dannie almost went pro (knee injury) in football.  He is big strong and fast as anything.  some of what I learned today was to deal with someone coming in with lightning fast punches, that also rocked you.  I started to keep my opponent off me more with teeps which helped stopping him form closing the gap on me.  Dealing with Paul was interesting.  If I went back using either triangle footwork pattern 1 or 2  he could still reach me and often did with his Jab.  So had to play a bit with my footwork to make it so I could attack!! So got beat up a little today.  Good lessons and lots of stuff to work on.
