I had Filipino Martial Arts training today at 10:30AM. I thought Guro was late, but it turned out I was waiting in the wrong part of the park. Whoops.
- Double stick warm up.
- Stick in right hand and knife in left hand. Then vice versa. New info: Despite usually blocking attacker's weapon with my nearest weapon, when holding stick and knife, stick always blocks 1st and knife counters 2nd.
- Combo: Parry, straight palm strike, and 2 consecutive knee strikes.
- Drill: Parry and straight palm strike, back and forth, over and over again. To switch sides: Outside parry, grab forearm with same parrying hand (simultaneously switching lead foot), continue.
I went home, watched some Fast and Furious on TV, Guro asked me to help him make a Martial Arts DVD, and then it was off to Capoeira training.
Only Andres, Jesse II, and Carlito showed up. We did our workout with the bars outdoors. We were locked out of the recreation room with no contact from management. Class was basically a game where we were shooting for 5 minutes, but turned out to be so out of shape that we didn't even make it. We took a break and went again for even shorter. My last round ended when Andres hit me with a cabecada (headbutt), I fell over, he motioned for me to get back up, but I tapped out.
We reminisced how we were all in better shape 6 months ago. I blamed it on all of us focusing on getting in shape for Monster Massive (the Halloween rave) and once that was over, we had no more motivation. Andres suggested the following diet for me: Broccoli, tomatoes, carrots, spinach, avocadoes, egg whites, nuts (not roasted), chicken breasts, apples, and bananas.
Went home way early and ended the night with Dancing with the Stars and WWE Raw featuring "The Heartbreak Kid" (HBK) Shawn Michael's retirement speech.
