UPDATE:
Last class I went to yesterday & my assignment was to learn to to breathe when hit in the body. They had a 23 yr old (experienced) girl (not bad looking) hit me repeatedly (mostly hooks & straights I think) while I wore a padded apron that is tied on... & a strap on cup too in case she had an accidental low blow. 1 minute circuits; 3 of them total. I was not aloud to throw anything... just put my left arm out so she would have to slip & pick.... otherwise I could just block w/ my hands up in front mostly face area. I learned to breathe alright... pretty quick... my mouth piece came flying out once too.
She went to work on me. I have never been turned on & humiliated at the same time... weird feeling... I think that girl enjoyed beating me up. Have a great weekend. Scooter
