Muay Thai Newbies: Day 22: Getting closer to the end.

We just started on the last week of training, it has been great so far but also incredibly hard and straining, bruises here and there, aching and strains.

Anyway, I got trough my illness last week and got back training, we had an amazing night out in Patong, which was well needed.

Sunday we had a sparring session in the morning with American Dan, Swiss Stefan, Indonesian Dewie and Danish Camilla. The deal was to give it about 50%, so it was a lot harder than normally and good experience.

Katja had a round with Dewie, who'svery good, but a lot smaller and a round with Camilla, who's also here to train a month.

I think both should take a lot of pride from the match.

I had a round with Stefan, who has a longer reach but on about the same level as I am, and we had a fairly even match.
I also had a round with Dan who's surprisingly quick and punches really hard, he has trained a lot more than I have so I was overmatched but it was still good, I'm glad my guards are generally up though, as it was a lesson in damage control.
