today's training was quite fun. a bit of warm up then- i hr randori! not exactly non-stop, or else i wud die. we had break at the 8th round... about 40 minutes. so i found out that it is more effective and less tiring to play relaxed, back straight and looking at the shoulders instead of the lapel. and the fighting mentality makes quite abit of difference. before, my mentality was- get a grip. enter. now my mentality is - just get him down. second one works better too.

jimr is training my spring hip seoi nage. i have to admit that it is especially effective to train seoi nage with him.*grin* my goal is to be able to use spring hip during randori by june. i now believe i do have potential...next up would be to train. randori rox(i used to hate randori cos stiffening up is a painful and tiring randoriing experience).

well, then we did some ...erm...weird exercises. like human bench press(the best part is when your arms feels like shit, then u finish).... climbing round the tree....(which most of us were unable to do) and 150 rolling pushups. must admit though, that i am getting unfit, i am feeling tired quite easily. but then... did my 2.4km in 11mins40secs. not bad for a person who entered ri with a timing of 16 minute sumthing. and i didn't pia.
