for those of you unawares, since the beginning of this month of october, i have been training at ivan salaverry's gym on 8th and john.
i love every second i spend there, although at times my body doesn't always share my enthusiasm.
learning to kick with my shins (whereas in tkd, i was used to kicking w/ the tops of my feet. BAD FORM!), punch with the correct side of my fist (ie the first two knuckles), and correctly choke a bitch out has taken its toll on my flabby body.
but today, abeson almost got assaulted by a woman. a wiley woman at that.
she asked him to grapple and he obliged, but she told him to go easy on her neck, since she had just had surgery.
why is she asking to grapple when she just had surgery on her neck?
at any rate, abe is relatively new at grappling, and the lady knows this, because she asked him beforehand, "are you new?" to which he nodded.
he's not aware of certain moves which might put more strain on the neck than usual, and adding to this pile of shit about to hit the fan, the lady will NOT tell him when he's being too rough.
after they get done grappling, she flies up in a rage, yelling at abeson, "what the fuck was that?!"
at first i thought they were joking around, so i sat there like an idiot, a smile on my face.
then a huge, sweaty guy comes in to separate the two. tells the lady to "chill out". but she doesn't. instead, she keeps screaming at abe and he's bewildered, throwing his hands up in the air as if he's being held up.
she then gives him a shove and leaves most of the people in the room very weirded out.
ivan comes in, telling abe to not worry about it in spanish, and that she's hotheaded.
to dot the i and cross the t's in the phrase "what the shit", when abe apologizes and tries to explain that she could've just told him to ease up while they were rolling.
to this, she responds, "if you're going too hard, i won't tell you while we're rolling. i'll just smash your face in afterwards."
man, she turns me on just thinking about her. i'm going to masturbate to that woman's visage for the next month.
also, i farted extremely hard when i rolled with abe. it was hilarious. i could've sworn i ripped a hole in my shorts.
i'm finding it harder and harder to cope with being by myself.
i'm trying to keep busy, but the pangs are still felt.
and very deeply. this probably means something horrible will happen to me.
i'll probably end up marrying someone i don't even love.
