Got my ass kicked...TWICE

[raze]

I have had quite a few muay thai fights and the flinching will go as you get more comfortable. It has nothing to do with being aggressive, overly aggressive fighters are generally inexperienced and are not comfortable in there. It will take time and a few fights to find the balance. Get a decent trainer with decent fighters around him and you will be on the right track.

So long story short I had a BBQ party I ended up boxing 2 different people. The first person I boxed had about 30 pounds on me and about 4 inches. The second person had about 70 pounds but the same height. It seems my problem is that when I get hit I back up I dont keep going at it. And it seems like I close my eyes. Are these known problems?

Yeah backing up and closing your eyes are definitely a problem when fighting

Happens to a lot of beginners....You have 2 reactions when you get hit

1) fight back

or

2) retreat

it's tough to teach a guy who naturally retreats to stay in the pocket and throw strikes of his own.

Look man I have fought many street fights, kick boxed for five years and now train for mma and Many of us who have been there have at one point in time flinched. Fortunately I can say my temper has always encouraged me to continue forward for the kill. So although in my particular case and few others it has not hapened, doesnt mean it doesnt occur. But like the previous posts have stated, u will do fine n time just stay focused n dont lose ur cool. Keep ur composure n swing for the fences kid.

hahaha your ex's bf, that fuckin sucks. It really does. Dont let someone like me bring you down though, im an asshole

I have never been in a fight since middle school. i dont know much about fighting i would like to learn though. i say u get better at fighting, then talk shit to that guy till he wants to fight and u knock him out. thats the only way u will get over something like that

This ain't the movies...chances are, if he kicked your ass the first time, he'll kick your ass again, unless there was some type of specific reason you got beat up the first time.....IE...you were really drunk and couldn't focus or something like that.

Just remember also that theres no weight classes in real life........so even in MMA, you might kill fools at your 190 weight class, but I would bet my bottom dollar that the crapiest 250 pounder could take you down with some effort. So pick your battles.
