Oh, and since I always "put up or shut up," just a few pics from yesterday's sparring session to prove that I actually do train -- which more is more than what Ben can show. Do NOT repost the pics. Notice that I'm fighting with minimal protective gear. No headgear, no mouthpiece. No handwraps on under the gloves. The shin guards are not standard protective gear (which usually consists of a hard shell). These are just pieces of foam. I wouldn't even wear that, but my sparring partners requested it because I can kick so hard.
