Lesson today... Dunno what to day about this except I know I wasn't that screwed up.
And I suspected something was wrong when i checked the front of the book and it said lesson 1 completed but the topics page didn't tally. A check with the website concluded that I indeed had not shamed my clan this day and hence need not commit seppuku.
There is a misconception that I can take out my frustrations in the dojo. I can only allow myself to release a little bit of tension in a controlled manner, less there be blood shed. The only way I can explain what I feel is to compare it to stopping right before orgasm.
Despite the wraps and gloves... my knuckles were still red for some reason.
No noobs in the fighting squad during practice today for some reason. Only Fai and Ant, the more senior fighters who are flying off to thailand for training camp on sunday. Fai is probably the only guy around CA who has a chance of taking me down. Former silat national team, extremely aggressive frontal attacker. Very tempted to have a round with him, to see if my reversals are fast enough. Our styles are completely opposite.
Fai's front push kick is extremely powerful and he concentrates alot on forward linear attack combos. Mixing up with kicks to the side.
I on the other hand combo into lateral movements, curving around the opponent. I mix up with front push kick/turning kicks to abuse range.
So it boils down to who moves/reacts faster. Will he be able to thrust in before I side step, will he be able to push in fast enough after guarding my kick?
Did padwork with them. His push kick is quite scary... made Ant fly back 1 metre with full brace with on the target - kinda like something out of an anime. I had to grit my teeth to hold against his impact. But... as he knows too... he revs up too much power for the kick and its slow. An experienced fighter will be able to side step from the kick before impact.
Argh... fighting is making me skinny.
