wow...

congrats! stick with it. we've seen a lot of people hang with us long enough to get to bogu and then quit soon thereafter because of some of the obstacles you're talking about.

I dont know if that was because of the bogu itself or if was because I had to concentrate on so many other things(like surviving). You may already know this, but...

you're going to get hit, no matter what. And you'll get hit in places where there is no protection.

As for "surviving," concentrate on surviving by killing your opponent before he kills you. ... at every exchange. Most people new to bogu immediately fall into a defense mode and start blocking (or trying to block) everything. Avoid this (if you're doing it). It will do you no good.

good luck
