Class 2007/12/12 (Wed)

Rather energetic class, lots of kicking combos. The #1 is front, pop-up, front, pop-up, the #2 is rear round, slide round, the #3 is ... umm. I had to run intermittently on my way there and back, the outside temperature was about +5C. Thankfuly, wind was weak, below 2 m/s from East.

I got through the night with Advil. It still hurt, but in a dull way deep inside the skull. Seems ok today.

Tough class today. I had to squat a few times.

Escrima seminar

I'm just back from the seminar on Escrima, the Phillipino stick fighting, taught by Master Max Pallen. It was quite interesting, especially the demonstration match. One curious detail is, during match rounds I didn't see much of any defence, let alone a disarm. Evasion was the main defence.
