48 new episodes of Degrassi for this season

What a surprise, Guro actually held Filipino Martial Arts (FMA) training this morning for the 1st time since the beginning of the month. It was mostly about defending myself while on my back and someone trying to beat me down with a stick. Oh, and workers cleared and cut the trees in the area we were training in afterward. Ouch. Every tree hugger's nightmare.

I went to Capoeira training. Lots of new people. Kevin's back. Haven't seen him since last February. He got into a car accident and noticeably lost about 30 lbs.

• Combo drilled: Meia lua de frente (front arch kick), quexiada (ax kick), cadera (chair), armada (spin kick), esquiva (dodge), meia lua de compasso (low spin kick).
• Then a 3-person drill, which we rarely do.
• Then another 3-person drill.
• We divided into teams with the two Jesses as team captains. I was on Mexican Jesse's team.
• We were playing for points. But the little kids could earn points for practically doing anything whereas we "big boys" had to do fancy shit.
• 1) My team was already outnumbered. 2) The other team had more little kids. Yeah, we lost.

Apparently, Degrassi (which has 48 episodes for their 10th season!) changed its format to airing a new episode everyday for the first 24 episodes and the remaining 24 episodes once a week.
