Yesterday I tomoenage’d a guy who’d represented Poland at the national level. 😀

I need to drill out a bad defensive habit caused by boxing gloves: shelling up in defense with the hands resting on the face. Works great with boxing gloves, but boxing ≠ fighting.

Having said that, my striking defenses have really improved in the past month. I frequently see entire combos coming and go block-block-block with no panic no hurry.
