After sparring Muay Thai today. It was mad crazy- I totally felt like shit, both physically and technically. I spent 9 hours in college, didn’t eat much, didn’t sleep much and went straight to training. I was tired after doing grappling and Judo work but I figured some “light sparring” would be good. HOLY SHIT. No bueno. I kept getting my ass kicked, especially towards the end. I kept getting thrown, and as much as I wanted to just lie there and catch my breath- I had to force myself to get back up and keep fighting. I mean, my partners were tired as well- which was probably the problem, because when two people are tired & gassed, they have less control. And since I was the smaller person fighting more advanced people, it definitely was not good for me. I lost a contact in the beginning so I couldn’t see properly and my hair came undone so it was all in my face.  Then I got nicely kicked in the lip. I was bleeding and my instructor was like “Divya come here, let me check that out”, but I ignored him & kept fighting till the end of the round. I honestly don’t think I’m good at anything- but I do everything I can to not give up; to keep pushing on regardless of how shitty I feel. That’s got to count for something in life right?
