Alright so it happens again, playfighting and this time I get a split lip! How crap am I? This guy had aboustely no previous knowledge!
This is annoying now!

Makes me feel like I'm a failure as a martial artist.

Keep in mind that its not going to happen overnight. There are no short cuts. There is no sure shot way of positioning the hands to 100% cover your self. In addition, as Blackcatbonz said, don't wait..be the aggressor and hit first. Don't forget, when someone is going to punch you, there will be that before, during and after phase. As soon as you see some movement, THAT is the time to make your move. Again, none of this will happen overnight. Keep training hard, and with time, you will see results! :ultracool

And I agree with you arnisador, I've changed my mindset and look upon it now as a learning experience, not a lost.

Great!
