I just had my first MMA sparring with my coach (bare in mind that i am a female and my coach is male). I spar with my cocah because there are not really women in my country that are training MMA, so i have to spar with men no matter what. And I am okeay with that.
Howerver, I can not but ask if my coach was a little to hard on me with kicking today. I know that I was not good, but that is was I actually expected from my first sparring session. He was punching me in the face, stomach (and those kick were very painfull), legs and he even tried to do spinning leg kick on me. I know that he was not giving 100% of his strenght, but I feel like he gave 70% of it for sure. Now, i am in a lot of pain. My stomach is really hurting. And what was the nost frustrating of it all is that he didn't say anything to me after sparring. I was crying after sparring sessiom, not because I was scared or sometning, but because it was all new for me and because I felt like I will never get better at it. He did not say anything, not even that it is okay, and i will get better with time. He just told me that we are going to spar again on Monday.
i dont know what to think. Mahbe he is just dissapointed.
