Home Sparring Session by Lovestospar Quick story about the time my tkd ex caved into doing "full on sparring" with me at home. She was a purple belt and had just walked in the door from taekwondo. i was horny as fuck(as always) to see her all sweaty after class. i didn't even give her the time to set her bag down before i asked if she would spar me, expecting the usual "no". i was amazed when she responded "If it'll get you to stop bothering me, fine. Let's just get it over with". My jaw dropped in astonishement. So she dropped her bag, kicked off her flops, and slid into her cotton foot pads while i pulled the car out of the garage so we'd have a good enough sized space to use. We agreed on 3; 1 minute rounds and that i'd wear her helmet just to be safe. However, as it turns out, i wouldn't last 20 seconds of round 1. There was no real build up like i'd imagined, we kinda just stepped out into the garage and squared off then she pressed the 1 minute timer on her iPhone. We kinda just stood there feeling each other out. Turns out, watching her bounce on the balls of her feet and realizing she knew what she was doing made me legit nervous as hell. But as much as i wanted to get beat up by her, when it became real, i for sure did not. i couldn't back out, tho. After all i'd been pestering her about it for years. i'm taller than her, so i moved in to grab her so i could wrestle her down and try to subdue her. That was my fatal flaw. *BOOM!* She spun and blasted a hard, lightning-fast back-kick right under my solar plexus with the heel of her left foot as she let out her "KIYAP!!". I dropped to the floor in the fetal position gasping for breath immediately. She barely reacted. No victory pose. No foot in the face or on my head like I'd fantasized about. Nothing. She just stood in her fighting stance seeing if i'd continue my attack. She just waited. I needed to vomit but couldn't even find breath. Tears filled my eyes as i panicked, for real fearing i wouldn't catch my breath ever again. That feeling lasted for what seemed like several minutes. As i writhed in pain, breathless she said "I don't mean to rub it in so soon, but this is why I never wanted to do this". i couldn't respond. Finally my breath came back and i wiped the tears from my eyes. When i could, i sprung up and ran to the bathroom. I barfed for about 10-15 minutes. When i came out, she was sitting on the floor in front of the tv watching "Survivor". Which in hindsight was quite fitting. The coldness of that moment sticks with me to this very day. She was just there, watching her favorite tv show liked nothing had happened. Going on about her night like she didnt just waste me in under 15 seconds. After an awkward moment she looked up at me: "Don't ever ask me to spar you again." she ordered as she stood up and made her way to the shower, untying her belt as she walked. She stopped as she walked past me: "I thought I really hurt you. Don't make me feel like that again." I could tell she was livid. I was too embarrassed to respond so I just nodded. She walked into the bathroom as i sat on the couch waiting for her. No lie, unfortunately, I think the entire dynamic of our relationship changed that night. I'll never forget what ACTUALLY feeling inferior to her and her feet felt like.
