The running commentary in the house is "That MAN weighs 30# less than I do". It's hard to put in context b/c you only see those folks next to one another on the show, but they are TEEEEENY.

Might be a garden-decorating or door-stopping trophy and not a mantel-adorning trophy. Definitely a ground floor situation.

cline Posted September 20, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 20, 2014 Soon there will be Muay Thai. Thurs night all we did was knees!!! I had to work with a newish girl. Not very good so not w great class for me. But OMG was she fun and nice. I kept pushing her. During kick sprints "come on just two more!" Her "ok!" It was so endearing. Man I liked her. And my Finnish friend was there and my deaf friend and get this! A blind guy started with his friend! I'm soooooo humbled by them all. I love this gym.Today I'll go to class and then I get to coach and corner at the smoker!!!!!! SQUEEEEEEEall day in the stinky gym!!! 2 Quote I AM going the distance 'Cause all I wanna do is go the distance.

cline Posted September 22, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2014 How was the smoker!?? so much fun. I got to corner with one of my coaches. Saw some lousy sparring (to be expected) and a couple of good sparring match ups. AND major props to a guy who did a few rounds in a boxing sparing match and then finished with a few rounds of muay thai sparring. BAM! He was fun to work with. I learn a lot listening to the coaches with athletes in the moment. Trying to coach someone in the middle of the fight is pretty intense. But BEST YET I got to deal with blood! Whoo hoo!!! There will be blood! I got to stop a bloody nose in between rounds and clean the guy up! Sometimes happens in sparring. And yes... I got to stick my finger up some guy's bloody nose. Yessssss.... all the winning right there my friends. Quote I AM going the distance 'Cause all I wanna do is go the distance.

cline Posted September 22, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2014 The fact that you love this, is a great example of why we love Cline! Who doesn't love administering aid to bloody fighters? Oh and holding spit covered mouth guards! Yes! Just spit that baby out right into my hands... I gotcha. And yup you got a slap on your sweaty back. (I really wanted to hand out ass slaps but fighters are not really into ass slaps as far as I can tell... at least not my classmates... YET....) Blood doesn't really bother me. I'm sure buckets of it would be a bit distressing. But nonetheless, I'm good in emergencies. I also don't mind being around body fluids. I know what to do and after having worked in the AIDS world for a while... I'm not skeeved easily. So yeah.... when dude was bleeding and his coach didn't have a corner (I was the only one helping corner), I popped right over to administer corner aid so coach could keep coaching. ignore me... let me clean you and stop the bleeding... listen to coach b/c you have more sparring to do. The coaches were all really pleased and impressed. I got a lot of cred. I loved the guy too. He was soooo charming. He was concerned b/c there was blood on his gloves and he saw the paper towels. My friend... it's mixed with sweat. It's more for show... you are not really bleeding as much as it seems. He made great eye contact - you could tell he was deciding if I was being honest and taking care of him... I saw it in his eyes. He trusted me completely and went 100% into listening to the coach. Each round of sparring I popped in and cleaned him up and stopped the blood. He was delightful and sparred well. Anyhow... a fun day. Except we only have one entrance to the cage (we used the cage instead of the ring even thought traditional Muay Thai is fought in a ring) and we had to use regular chairs b/c we didn't have stools. LOL. But okay. I got coach everything he needed, I carted the chair in and out, I cleaned up water, blood, spit, held mouth guards, put them in, taped gloves and head gear. slapped a lot of shoulders. And the one guy who didn't even make it through the first round? (he panicked....) he got a lot of "hey! HEY! You stepped up and stepped in the cage to spar! That's more than anyone else! HEY! You stepped up to try!!!" and he was much better after that. That guy deserves a lot of props b/c sparring is scary sometimes. 1 Quote I AM going the distance 'Cause all I wanna do is go the distance.

cline Posted September 22, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2014 update: lifting, fight camp, same old stuff. Fight camp on Saturday (before sparring) was all head kicks. Lousy partner. She kept grabbing my toes wrong and ended up hyper extending the damn toe again. Also, I don't know what she did, but top of other foot is all bruised. *sigh* Lifted at coach's yesterday. Such a great session. 1 Quote I AM going the distance 'Cause all I wanna do is go the distance.
