Exhaustion

Usually I am pretty stubborn when it comes to resting at practice.  Don't want to show weakness or some such crap. 

Last night while fighting I noted that leg shots I had no problem landing at the start had become more difficult to get acknowledged.

I could still get them in hard enough, but when I did, it required extra concious effort to do so.

As I got tired my body attempted to conserve energy by cheating the shot.

I am not at practice to prove anything, I am there to learn and get better.  I can do that more effectively if I manage my exhaustion by take breaks when I need to.
