Well that was fun.

Great class tonight! I really enjoy sparing and tonight I reminded myself of an important lesson I learned early in my training.  Keep my fist tight!

I like keeping my hands loose because it keeps my overall body loose which keeps my tension down.  However when I'm not actually sparing it's easy to think that I'm making proper fists when I'm punching nothing but air.  Well tonight I managed to jamb my left ring finger while blocking a side heel.  Then later on I bent the thumb nail back on the same hand while sparing with Sihing Bjorkquist. Looser hands are all fine as long as when I want to make contact they're proper tight fists.

Important lessons re learned tonight.
