Let's get ready to RUMBLE!

Last night was Nick's first sparring class(friday night fights). It was very exciting. He did great! Being that it was his first class he was a little nervous. But, after the instructor pointed out that it was a first class for several others, you could see that Nick was more relaxed. The hour consists of 3 to 4 minute sparring matches(going on at the same time all over the dojo) where you pair up with someone and use all the hits, blocks, and kicks you have learned in class to kick some butt. After the time is up, they yell... switch, and you scramble around to another partner and do it all again. It looked very exhausting. Nick was giving as good as he was getting. Some really impressive combinations. After about 45 minutes you could see on Nick's face that he was wearing down. But, he stuck it out till the end and felt very proud of himself. When walking out to the car he asked if next time his Nanny Jackie could come watch him. We were happy to here that there was going to be a next time.
