Day 299: Dangers in family exercise

As everyone knows, we take a Kung Fu class as a family. Martial arts classes typically have some sparring, ours is no different. Our teacher, Sifu Adams, tries to have Steve and I partnered as much as possible, but the children also need to partner with us so they can practice without sibling issues.
Tonight, I had the opportunity to spar with all 3 of my children.
They are getting very quick with their punches which makes me work hard at defense. While sparring with K, she socked me right in the jaw. Man, did I want to take a breather - it hurt! Not super bad, but bad enough I wanted a few minutes to "walk it off".
Unfortunately, can't do that when my children are watching me - if I "walk it off" every time something hurts than they will too. So, I sucked it up and kept sparring...but trust me, I watched that right hook a little more closely!

Happy Walking!
