Ramblings of a medical student: The spar



The smell of sweat, permeating everything, hand wraps, cloths, the air. The smell of the gym and the backdrop of voices and grunts of hard working people. It all syncs and swells into oneness once your gloves are on, groin cup and shin pads. Its there but not there any more. Suddenly the first punch comes. Now theres a vacuum. All around you seems still. Its just you and your opponent. No extra tools, just your head/brain plus your 8 striking parts. Between advanced skilled individuals it becomes uncheoreographed synchronized dance, where a punch is met with a slip and a counter attack.
