Training Seminar

Sunday 21st November 2010

Busy day today. Up to the uni for 11:30am to drive to London. A group of us were off to a training seminar for my martial art and it was fantastic! We had the warm up and all of us were sort of thinking "was that it" as we were used to fairly tough ones at our club. But then kihon (basics) kicked in - excuse the pun - and we were dying by the end. All in all, a great session and very tired by the end! After all the politics of the previous year and a bit it was wonderful to have a training session where we could just train. Made me remember what training should be about, without all the rubbish that has come with it lately.

On the way up me and my friend played 'yellow car' (spot a yellow car, call it, hit the other person). Only my friend driving said there was to be no violence in his car so we just added it up. Final score: my friend 4 - me 17!!!!! Hee hee.

Got home and watched the latest UFC. Really good showing this time. Some great fights. :-)

Today's photo shows my martial arts gi, my embroidered black belt and a tub of stuff to repair my poor broken muscles!!!

Quote of the Day:

"My trainers are in there and told me I won the fight. But when I was in the fight, I just had a one-track mind to know him out. In the third round, he came at me so much, I forget what happened in the first two rounds... It's one of those things where at the time I thought I was getting my ass whooped because I was just on the ground taking a flurry to my face." - Rampage Jackson, after winning his fight against Lyoto Machida
