The TTC is alright.

I had a hard time training yesterday. Running made me lightheaded (so I refrained from doing it after the first half hour) and the pad drills hurt to do. I have a sneaky feeling that was the stress (that turned into a small scale meltdown today) taking its toll. I need to get more pro-active about mangaging that! I should know how crippling it can be by now. All the same, training was really good and we did a good solid review of the upper-body line drills, round-house kick defenses (underhook and knee-to-elbow are awkward and need to be practiced) and those familiar pad drills.

This time of year, "balance" is always more theory and less practice.

Today was a wash. I am letting this class get to me way too much. I lost just about all will to work after this afternoon's episode; I wasn't even asking "Should I work or do (insert time waster)?". I just didn't. My emotional energy levels are through the floor, but hopefully the day off and a good night's sleep will help. I'll try and come at all of this work with a better attitude in the morning.

I'm a martial artist - I practice a hybrid of Wing Chun and San Shou Kung Fu. I don't even compete, but it's something that makes me feel really good, you know?

Go on ahead and add me!

Martial Arts is best! It does have a way of making you feel real good and proud of yourself.

I use to do Judo and I found that I was really disciplined when I practiced. I never did any competitions either, but they tried very hard to get me into them. I always declined.

But, wow! I wish I was still young enough to get into something again. I find my time is taken up with Home and Work.

I miss my younger years.

Take Care and Much Love,
