Injured

Training was great again. We went over some more fundamentals; distancing, using the feet/hips to add power, how to duck a punch without turning away, the importance of shadow boxing, not telegraphing punches, and its not a good idea to take my eyes off Mr. Mazi's chest when we are circling each other. Lots of other stuff that we have to keep being reminded when we get tired, chin down, hands up, etc. I'm sure I dont remember everything.
The grappling class was just as good. Although, it seems harder for me to get my head around it all. Thats ok though, I'm smart. I'll get it. I feel so lucky to have such great teachers.
The Ninpo is still very new to me and a bit awkward but I can feel it becoming my own. I need to take some notes. The other students are fun to be around. Mr. Broom taught us a cool move but I never did get all the way through it correctly. I kept forgetting to use my elbows and knees to pin their legs while I transitioned out of their guard. Its important. If I dont control the legs I'll get caught in an arm bar or triangle or whatever else there might be.
I have hurt myself. I have a spot on my back that is bruised or something but MAN is it sore. If I cough its like I knife. An old, bent, rusty, jagged, hot knife. Bummer. I'll just keep on doing what I can until it gets better. I should find a way to take advantage of it somehow.
I know there are other things I want to talk about but I'm off for now.
Thanks for reading.
