You have a good stance Anna... chin tucked hands up
relaxed
try using more head movement and a broken rythym
you had a good jab too
honestly I'm quite impressed
most women I see who train aren't as well composed
but then again I've yet to meet a women who REALLY trains
errr... rather
I just met one

...and what the **** is that music in the background??!
It's posilutley daft!

So yeah here's a video of the two of us sparring:

And yeah, guys c'mon, he was actually willing to spar with us and let us film it so you gotta give him credit. Most people are too lame to do even that ;)

This fight further proves my conjecture that his kicks are weak and ineffective.

I liked your strategy of keeping at his legs with low round kicks. If you hadn't had shin pads on, I don't think he'd be walking.

You should have pressed your advantage more when he kept opening up his back to you. Give him a shot in the back or in the back of the head. Actually, I don't know if that's allowed, but, hell, I'd have taken it. Also, he drops his guard A LOT. Obviously, the kicks weren't phasing you. Get in close, take a few of those, and do a 1-1-2 or 1-2-3-2 combo to his face.

You obviously had the stamina to outlast him. You'd have run him down eventually.

I will give him props for going out to spar, but seriously... when you get beaten by two girls (especially much younger girls; well, I don't know you're younger, but you certainly look it), it's time to think about gender reassignment surgery.

Ok, next video

This is Kidspatula and I sparring at our gym.

This is much more representative of our usual sparring, i think sparring outside tends to make one slightly sloppier.
(And I dont want to hear that ring vs street crap, we're both training specifically to fight in the ring, I carry a gun for self defense, thanks :P )

Nice of you to post vids. Isshin-ryu guy tended to drop his left hand a little too much, but I have no experience in that style so eh. What were the rules?

Be friends at the end of the day.

when it was anna vs isshin ryu guy (scotty) it was standard MMA rules I guess, and for me vs. scotty it was muay thai rules

nice one.

he didn't seem very enthusiastic... his hands were down, he kept turning away whenever he was getting hit. when people do that you can really line em up for a big shot.
