A Bit of Friday Night Sparring

I love doing a little sparring on Friday night.  It feels like it caps the week of more organized training and I always get to try out something new, regardless of whether I am sparring someone much more skilled or a bit less so. Here is some video from a Friday night sparring session with another game older guy. (I am wearing the gold gloves).

Worth mentioning that it always strikes me (pun intended) by how light everything looks when you watch it on video versus how it feels at the time. This was definitely us going at it at 10-15%, so not too hard but its not nothing either. Also although overall I am not unhappy with how my skills are coming along in sparring, I always find video of myself a little cringe-worthy.
