Day two .. official kick off of the Black Belt Cycle Spring 2015.   

I went to yesterdays Sparring Seminar, and have to say I am a little surprised I'm walking as well as I am today.
My knees are not extremely happy with me, and my back, well it's still in attitude mode, but outside that there 
really was a sense of surprise this morning when I didn't need help to crawl out of bed. 
 
There is a part of me that enjoys the cycle because it adds a sense of urgency to getting a workout in my day 
or a good training session.  I often, most days have some body part that hurts so it is easy to use that as an excuse to take a day off.   I like the way I feel when I am more regular in my exercise regime.  I would like it 
better though too if I didn't have something that hurt all of the time.  I think however the days of no pain are long past. 
 
So here we go ! 
 
 
I did really enjoy the sparring seminar with Master Shane from Australia.  I do like sparring classes that work on basics... I'm such a slow learner sometimes.   
 
PMAA was good this past week too.  I especially like the hand to hand stuff and knives.  I have some knife 
defenses I need to learn.
