The first day of sparring was both exciting and terrifying. I had been training for a while, but actually sparring was different. I started sparring with a partner who was really fast. I found it hard to keep up at first. But as the session went on, I started to anticipate his moves better. I also realized that I needed to work on my footwork a lot more. It was a day full of lessons and I couldn't wait to improve and spar again.
