UNBRIDLED TRUTH

Between holiday disruptions and some medical matters with my cat, I didn't do any training during last week, so I wasn't in a rush to get this out before things resumed. I am expecting more disruptions from New Year's Day, but at least I am back to cracking some leather again while I can in the mean time. Monday   Muay Thai class The guest kru had us working on hitting different levels with round kicks, mixed with different initiation techniques. It got a bit silly eventual

I know I'm late posting this. Alas. Monday   Muay Thai double class The first class this day was a padwork session by the guest kru. It stuck to basic strikes but mixed them around in a few ways to build comfort with different transitions. It was nothing groundbreaking, but my balance was a bit off this day, so it was a good coincidence that I was able to function mostly on muscle memory while focusing more on staying in control of my body.

Clearly, I did not make it happen last week. I just can't seem to push my focus where I want it to be these days. Oh well, nothing to do but to try again. Monday   Muay Thai class It was head-to-head back-and-forth defense drills to start off the week again. If the guest kru keeps this pattern up, that would be a welcome trend. Even the awkwardness of doing those in a trio didn't stop me from having fun. Granted, the drills themselves had a couple of oddballs, as I expec

I really do want to get back to doing more with that Ironsworn Actual Play series, but I somehow keep getting distracted by other things, even after I did start on the next session. I want to make it happen again this week, because I do want to play more with Quinn, but sometimes, the brain does not cooperate. Monday   Muay Thai class We did head-to-head back-and-forth defense drills with the guest kru. That's always fun stuff, though it's a little odd to me that he encoura
