Did 55 minutes of basics, using almost all of the floor at our gym. Then, had a good stretch. I'm sore today, but yesterday, I felt loose and pretty good. I will do some more of this, looking into the Encyclopedia for more "fundamental exercises" to do up and down the floor to change things up a bit.

12/18

3 hour seminar covering trapping from extended, non-reference point ranges. "Functional Trapping" as it was called. Excellent time well spent that will fit really well into my response pattern.
