I don't have any hard feelings,I don't think he intended it. Things just happen when your sparring sometimes.

That's what I was thinking.

I also see it as a good thing to feel this. So you know what it's like in case you ever get rocked in a fight or scuffle.

Yeah, I'm taking it as a learning experience. My doctor told me that some people just get concussions easier than others and I should avoid sparring considering my occupation and my need for fine balance. (Flying airplanes)

The upshot for me is keep training when I'm better, avoid head shots, avoid real fights, and hit hard and fast and get out if I ever have to fight.
Who dares wins.
