Guro called to reschedule Filipino Martial Arts (FMA) training. (Sarcastically) What a surprise. He made the excuse that the Lakers parade would've prevented us from meeting anyway and his freeway was blocked.
I watched last night's new episode of True Blood and then went to the gym for day 3 of my new upper body regiment for pull muscles. And then FINALLY I prepared to return to Capoeira. For everyone's safety since we kick barefoot, I cut my toe nails (now practically claws) for the 1st time since January 4!
Those present: Andres, Jesse 1, Louis, Diana, Steph (whom I haven't seen since last summer before she left for UCLA), and 2 new students who've started while I was gone named Marko and Slim. Carlito was dropped off at the sidewalk and joined us while we were running (while Diana and Steph, being typical girls, ditched running). Carlito brought his little 5-year-old relative, Chris, to try training. Now for my own boring reference ...
1st combination for warm-up: Meia lua de frente (front arch kick), meia lua de compasso (low to high spin kick) stretch, rasteira de cosa (spin sweep), cadera (chair), lunge, esquiva (dodge/evade), lunge.
1st 2-person drill:
1) Fighter A: Meia lua de frente. Fighter B: Esquiva.
2) Fighter B: Armada de cosa (spin kick). Fighter A: Steps mirror image, but spins opposite in a cadera for a vingativa (takedown).
3) Fighter B: Slides off into negativa (recovery).
4) Repeat.
Today's objective in the roda (circle of people): 1) Sweeps only. 2) Control the center. Everyone did sweeps, but only I understood "controlling the center." When Andres and Louis were against each other, Diana pushed me in to go against Louis. I bullied him against the corners ...
RYAN: (Taunting) Hey Louis. Guess what?
LOUIS: What?
RYAN: I'm controlling the center!
EVERYONE: (Taunting) Ooohhh ...
ANDRES: Time out! I think Ryan is the only one who's made that point!
Andres then lectured everyone on what I did correctly. Yay!
Did my 4th day of this current regiment for leg muscles at the gym and ended the night with WWE RAW.
