AH! A KIDDO!


Today's training was kinda focused on countering horizontal strikes/chops...

We were also introduced to a new break falling concept for locks & how to counter.

IMHO, it makes you really unstable and I don't quite see the logic in it >.<
I guess this is where my karate limits my progress as I tend to think along that line instead..
Not much I can do abt that I guess... Once a karate-ka, always a karate-ka...

Also had to deal with a couple of slams along the way.
I guess I'm getting rusty >.<
I couldn't slam quite as well as I used to.
In fact, my slamming style seems harder than before.... This is not good..
Guess I gotta go exercise a bit more... Been slacking...
(At least I dont land on my back like Jessie XD)

Well putting that aside, I had to train Li Ling & gang how to roll =p
Kinda reminds me of the mistakes I used to make lol...
I think I should make them roll 10x, back and forth on silat's mats.
Would be good practice for them as those mats are quite thin...
It'll help them build some stamina too...
(PS: Li Ling, I used to practice rolling like that. No excuses 4 j00 too! Muahahaha!)

And oh... almost forgot...

That outrageously impish & diasterous little chibi delayed me earlier today...
Crazy girl... kept playing with my Gi in the lab...
She also tried to put on my brown-gold belt again...

When I finally retrieved my all my aikido gear, I had to run to the toilet to prevent her from taking them away again lol... Madness ensued when I returned in my Gi... I hope Day 4 never becomes a Monday class! Coz I'm in the same class as her for that day! LMAO!!!
(Note to self: Chibi has great affinity for gi and belts for reasons unknown or rather, reasons probably better left unknown...)
