Yesterday at boxing, after rope and shadowboxing rounds, we switched between various kettlebell exercises and dumbbell shadowboxing. I didn't get a lot out of this except active recovery as 30 second rounds was too short to be challenging. 

Next, we partnered up and took turns slipping 1-2s. My partner was obnoxious. This guy tends to drift around during shadowboxing and stray in peoples' personal space. One of his gloves' velco straps was dangling; I'm guessing he had some equipment issues there but I had to deduce this on my own because it slapped my face close to my eye a few times and he never said a word about what was going on. He also kept sighing out of frustration and stopping to reset after he'd throw, no idea what that was about either. He was also throwing pretty hard for a drill and kept coming in close to in-fight so there wasn't much room to avoid his 1-2s, I had to block his hard shots each time. I played nice for a while and then started bopping him on his head harder when he wouldn't let up (still light enough to not be a dick, but hard enough to have considerable impact when that wasn't really the point of the drill).

I thought my right hand was healed, which is why I did some bagwork on Tuesday to warm-up for sparring, but right before bed my upper wrist area suddenly burst into pain. There is no lingering pain, but I'll have to be careful about that.
