Not really a waste of time…I learned a few things from the 2 minute sparring rounds…
ONE. WHEN you get hit, you think “oh that hurts” and keep on thinking that and don’t react….
If you were about to hit, but get hit first you normally think ” oh that hurts ” and don’t hit back…because
you are not used to being hit….
I learned from that, that no matter if I get hit, I will do the hit or kick I had in mind or some other,
BUT that person WILL BE HIT no matter what….and I won’t think about the pain, that won’t stop me…
Plus you become familiar with injuries, like a collapsed diaphragm, unless you know what to do about that,
if it happens on the streets, you can get killed as you are vulnerable…
