I went to martial arts yesterday, despite my back still being very sore. I'm putting a head pad on it all day and taking pills before bed each night. I was good at Ron's yesterday though, I spent the first ten minutes stretching and then I used the rest of the class to teach.
I worked with Eric and Brent. They're both working towards their black belts in February so I taught them the things they had to know like Triangles and leg locks. It was nice to do something again, even if it wasn't anything physical.
The last twenty minutes of class was ground fighting and I didn't partake in that either, I just watched and made sure that nobody ran into anyone else.
It sucks not being able to do anything but at least I'm useful when I go and I can help people out with what they need to learn. I'll probably go back on Wednesday to help again and stretch my back out on the mats.
My biggest concern now is getting my back into shape so that I can enjoy skiing this winter, I really don't want to miss out on that. |

Had an alright time at Ron's tonight. He left because he's sick so Richard and I just taught the class instead. I worked with this guy Mike and taught him a bunch of throws. Other than that we did some ground fighting and suicides.
I made a decision though. I've decided that I'm going to try for my 2nd degree black belt in Februray. I already know about half of the curriculum so it shouldn't be too much to learn the rest by then and get it really polished. I think it's an attainable goal and it's something I'd like to accomplish. I told Ron about it and he was enthusiastic. Looks like I'll be working out Mondays and Wednesdays on a regular basis from now on. |

I went to Ron's last night, and fought for the first time in four weeks. I'd been out of commission for a while because I had a nasty cold followed by throwing my back out. I went to Ron's last week but I just helped people out instead of actually doing anything.
Last night was good though. Doug was down from Kitchener. He came by last summer and taught us some new hand drills and we did some more of those last night. I finally had a chance to fight with him as well, but by the time we started fighting he was so tired from his previous fights that we didn't really do very much. Afterwards he had to use the "green monster" which is the oxygen tank. Once I finished my fitness drills I used it as well. Four weeks out and you really lose your endurance. |

Yesterday was more of a fitness workout than anything else. I didn't do any drills I haven't done a thousand times before. But I did get to fight Zack, and that was fun. |

Ron had me train with Eric for most of last night, which is always a good thing. I was able to work on my twisting arm bars, leg bars and some leg triangles - something I should be practicing more often. There were only two boxers tonight, and it was a lot busier tonight then it had been during August.
I guess everyone is back from school again. Andrew was there, he's the guy who used to have a big afro. He and the other teens did some wrestling drills, I think he's working on his Purple or Blue belt, I'm not sure. Either way, for the first hour or so he worked on his choking triangles and I gave him a few tips.
Not to be condescending but Andrew really needs to fight with more intensity. We did some wrestling during the last half hour. I got Eric a few times, and he tapped me out as well. I also fought Andrew. Every time I fight him he's very passive and just doesn't fight with any effort. It usually takes me driving my elbow in a pressure point to get him to start fighting me for real - he's a lot better then.
Good night all around. Hot as hell, but good. |

Well I had another good night at TAP. Just to get it off my chest I didn't
get any successful submissions, although I had a bunch of good attempts. |

Odd night tonight. Ron's neck was hurt these last few weeks so he wasn't able to train. However, he had some treatments on it, and although it wasn't 100% he still wanted to do some wrestling. |

Right, I went last night (Tuesday) with every intention of getting my ass handed to me in a cardio workout. Jason runs classes on Tuesdays and he's incredibly fit. I'd avoided going on those nights just because I wanted to avoid the fitness stuff. However, since I've started going to TAP I decided it was in my best interest if I did this stuff afterall. Besides, I don't do any cardio when I go to the gym with Erin and I probably shouldn't leave it out completely. |

I wouldn't be surprised if I'm single handedly keeping Myoflex in business. I use so much of the damn stuff. Well I had a really good night at Ron's tonight. We started out with some cardio, and then I fought for the remainder of the night. |
