Sorry about the wisdom teeth deal, Menjo. What a bummer! I am glad that I have never had to have it done.

You mentioned football practice. American football, or soccer?

Thanks bushido_man. The embarrassment is the worst pain haha, and its impressive you never had to have them done!

No, I don't play. I am out of high school, and we don't have any clubs around here that adults play in. Both of my brothers played in high school, and one in college. I should have played, but I did not.

Combat Hapkido/Defensive Tactics from 4:30 - 5:30. During this hour, we worked on arresting techniques, from takedowns to controlling to cuffing. This was a great workout! We also reviewed some of the low rank Combat Hapkido curriculum, which, after doing, we realized tied in very well with the arresting techniques that we had worked on. We just had to change the introductory movements. Instead of being grabbed, we had to initiate the grabbing.

Tradtional Class from 6:00 - 7:00. We did combination work at the end of class instead of sparring, and I need to work on being lighter on my feet to initiate moves better.

Today I did Combat Hapkido from 3:00 - 4:30. We had a really good session, going over 3 belt ranks of curriculum, really working on breaking down the finishing techniques, and working on the "entry" techniques for beginning the movements. We warmed up with some focus mitt work, which was great, too.

[Menjo]

4k run

All the basics, 20 for each.
