You stinkin' gabacha!
Broke into the 180lb range this morning which I haven't been in since I was maybe 16-18. I don't remember. Seems like I'm fluctuating between 190lbs and 188-187lbs. Feels good. The loss is attributed primarily to a resolution I made about 6 months before moving to Santa Fe to start eating better and engaging in a lot of exercise. Summer '10 I was at 225lbs, which even at 6', is huge for me. Moving to SF and finding lots of actively/martially inclined people definitely hasn't hurt either.
Picked up some Brazilian Ju-Jitsu practice during the week along side Wing Chun. Both are very fun. BJJ is weird because I've always been very wary of wrestling. Ultimately though, I figure if I am serious about self defense without going the distance of packing heat, I should develop some kind of ground game.
Amtgard is very up and down. The main park is going to take some serious work but our fighter practices are consistently attended by between three and four people (including myself). Either way, I am enjoying the time to really focus on some fundamentals and tightening of my style. Saw the fruition somewhat at Rakis when fighting middle madu and single sword. However, I still felt at an between point in my fighting while at the event.
Got a new job too. Fighting kids. I hope it turns out well.
