Sparred last night in Muay Thai. Tuesdays are turning into sparring nights, which is always welcome to me. We don't have many experience practitioners coming in anymore so I'm often separated from the beginners and paired with the assistant coach to spar with. 

We did far too many rounds for the whole hour for me to distinguish between them in review, but in general I'm doing a better job of picking my shots and stringing combos together. He asked me if I want to work on anything in particular and I told him I have issues landing hooks. I stay too far out and rarely land. For the rest of the session I focused on ending combos with a hook. 

My kicks were pretty bad today. I landed some clean ones but others were sloppy and not making contact with the shin. Jammed my right toes at one point.

Took some really hard shots. My right arm in particular is in pain, although this next morning the surgery point no longer hurts and I'm just feeling the bruises.
