For awhile now I've thought "Maybe I should fight MMA" I thought about starting to train some Muay Thai and more No-gi. One of the things that has made me question that decision is the fact that I've never been punched in the face (at least not on purpose). I did do a boxing smoker when I was about a month into training but, never got punched in the face.
Last night in no-gi class (which I'm not a huge fan of BTW) I helped with training one of our female MMA fighters who has a fight coming up next week. She wore her MMA gloves and was practicing jiu jitsu while blocking and throwing punches, she was throwing punches on the guy who went before me (he had told her to go ahead and hit him) when my turn came I asked her not to REALLY hit me. After a few rounds she got a little caught up in the moment and landed a hard punch straight down on my nose! My eyes started to water and my nose started bleeding and, I think I've come to a conclusion.......I LOVE Jiu JItsu!!
