My ankle hurts today and I love it! Last night Master Jon held a sparring class for us over at Lee's TKD Willmar. I got to spar twice, once against a kid named Chris and once against Aaron Thomsen. Aaron was a lot of fun to kick at. I managed to kick him in the face and he got a few good shots at me. I must have caught his elbow with my ankle, which is why it throbs today.
Master Jon also sparred each of us for a minute a piece, which was great. He's scary as heck to watch fight someone, and scary as heck to fight against. You can tell the guy is holding back, but he will still throw in a pretty vicious counter-attack if you kick him wrong. So I, for the most part, just backed off and let him come into me. Which was okay except for that I found a hard time getting a kick in. UGH.
Oh my gosh, you had to be there, it was just all around great funness. Also, Josh Erickson got his face kicked apart.
