FMA, gym, Capoeira ... What was I thinking?

I had Filipino Martial Arts (FMA) training at 10:30AM. My encounter with the Power Rangers last week at Anime Expo came up. Classmate Matt (to distinguish him from THE Matt and my nephew Matthew) shared that his cousin is Nakia Burrise, who played the 3rd (albeit out of a million) Yellow Power Ranger. We drilled:
  • Sinawali (weaving).
  • Vertical gunting (scissor) with knives. Angles 1 and 2.
  • Sumbrada (fighter flow drill).

I called Carlos in Nebraska to wish him Happy Birthday.

I did my 7th day of my current regiment for upper body pull muscles. I added rear deltoid flies.

After all that, I STILL (practically suicidally) went to Capoeira training. Andres, Marco, and Slim were present. I will now distinguish the two Jesses as Brazilian Jesse and Mexican Jesse. Brazilian Jesse, newly sporting cornrows, trained briefly. Some new kid named Steve (not to be confused with THE Steve) showed up.

The only single move drilled was the rasteira (sweep). The only combo drilled: Meia lua de frente (front arch kick), armada (spin kick), lunge, negativa role (rolling recovery), esquiva (dodge/recovery), meia lua de compasso (low spin kick).

I was the first one in the circle and the last one out when playing with Andres and I finally tapped out due to exhaustion.
