Love the Way You Lie

Do I even have to keep mentioning whenever Guro reschedules Filipino Martial Arts (FMA) training? Shouldn't it just be a given that whenever we do have training, it was rescheduled from another date?

Well, someone at the cable company isn't doing their job as the latest True Blood episode wasn't available on demand yet. I had to watch it old school piracy style on the internet. Then randomly busted a #3 to some big-breasted blond chick from the Renaissance Faire last May when I was going through old pics.

I had more energy for Capoeira training as I didn't go to the gym beforehand like I usually do. There was less parking than usual because the park's summer programs have started. Boo. Random note: There was some middle aged, but buff, man working out in practically boxers.
Today's class: Andres, Brazilian Jesse, Marko, Slim, Andres' dog Nayarit, and I.
  • Andres had us practice the spinning hook kick from Karate and Tae Kwon Do so that we would know the difference between their spin kick and our Capoeira spin kick (armada).
  • Then we practiced turning a spin kick into a roundhouse in the opposite direction. Requires a lot of balance because of going against the momentum.
  • Then the combo drilled was: Armada, lunge, negativa, rewind into lunge, step in for meia lua de compasso (low spin kick), rasteira de cosa (spinning back sweep).
  • Nayarit (the dog) can actually keep up with us running. But then she displays attitude when being told to "sit" and "stay" in the corner!


I did probably my best in a while. Class ended when I fell, Jesse tried to jump over me, I countered into grabbing his leg, it deteriorated into grappling, and Andres broke it up.

I got too lazy to go to the gym, though. Busted a #3 just so I'll feel stronger tomorrow when my body recovers with new testosterone. Ended the night with WWE RAW.
