It is very dangerous, long-term, to take liver shots. Unknown damage now can mean big problem later. On your lower right side you should be taught to keep your elbow tucked-in to block or deflect punches. If your opponent hits your elbow a few times, he will stop targeting that area. I know you youngins are truly tough, but don't be foolish as well.
