What's your preferred dominant-handed punch: straight, upper, or side hook? If it's a straight, I suggest you do yourself a favor and pull it so that the coach doesn't ban you from the gym or something since you seem to enjoy this place. If it's not a straight punch, just one direct hit to the jaw to one guy really should be all you need to assert your dominance there.
Please don't get yourself kicked out, dude, keep the control you know you have.
Most of the young guys are fast, so they like to swarm the "older" guys -- duck low, rush in with their head down and throw a lot of body shots. We're supposed to be light sparring -- 10% to the head, 30% to the body -- but these guys are showing off because they know (or they really think they're that good) that the older, heavier guys won't slam them hard. I've been holding back until the other day, I saw one of the dudes wink at his buddy when it was our turn to fight. It's been irritating me, but I was able to let them go.
Naturally, if you're swarming someone in that manner, you're completely open to a left hook. It just so happens that I have a left hook / overhand right combo that'll break your body if I land it. Which is why I never threw it. That is, until today. I'm going to start off with a few power jabs and walk through their punches to let 'em know I'm not playing. If they up the ante, I'll up the ante. And if I catch them being disrespectful or mouthing off, then they'll eat that left hook / overhand right.
I'm considering not going because I'm so angry. I also have a MASSIVE headache... with a lingering sense of euphoria. That means, whatever it is I'm resisting is starting to pass. The fact that I'm feeling anger instead of depression also insinuates that something's passing. Hopefully, it'll be a small class again, like Friday. That way, we'll focus on pad work.
You guys wanted to get to know the real chaosvrgn, make this journal live up to the name? Well, this is the first lesson.
I'm vengeful as fuck. You cross me, and I'm going to get revenge. May take a few years before I'm finally angry enough to do it, but the time is nigh for these young fucks asking for it.
