2005 Workout #127: Its hard taking a week off…

After my attempts to work out last week were foiled by office trouble, I was finally able to make it back to the dojo tonight.

led us through a very basics intensive class, the difficulty of which was compounded by the fact that it was 90 degrees in there and it felt like all the oxygen in the room was used up after the first ten minutes of class.

During the second class, we ran through the Shodan test for Raleigh. He came out to demonstrate a few of the combinations and he was looking pretty sharp. I think if he performs like that on the exam he’ll do fine.

We also got a little bit of time to dogpile on Raleigh in the form of Shodan style one time attack. It was fun, everybody got a chance to do each of the techniques. After class Mike and I did some slow sparring for a few minutes, however we had a pretty nasty front kick to knee collision that ended things pretty early.

Everyone walked away in one piece… its really good to be working out again.
