Boxing sparring was ok today, was up against Paul who is a very thoughtful boxer and doesn't come at you with the same combinations all the time. I'm still trying to make a strong connection between the physical and mental aspect of fighting, instead of just reacting without thinking to whatever is being thrown at me.

Sammuk is back training at the gym, which is exciting for me at least. Check the videos on the right if you don't know who he is.

Got hammered in the clinch/grapple sparring, I hate to think what kind of bruise is going to be there tomorrow. Learned a couple of new techniques though.
