JUDO
After aikido today, i stayed for judo, and it was GREAT.
I'm uber happy! Normally if I stay for judo i get stuck with someone who is uncomfortable working with me, probably because of the femaleness thing, so I just do foot sweeps and stanging techniques (boring). Now that Phil (jedi-looking dude) is back I actually get to practice the fun stuff. I couldn't do randori (free sparring for my non-aikido friends) today though, because my ankle hurts too much.
Then I got to watch Phil and Wayne (tall and stringy asian teenager) do randori, there was a point where I couldn't tell what leg belonged to what body, they looked like one large mass of body parts what kept bouncing around on the floor. Wayne actually did a handstand on Phil, he kicked his legs up to give himself momentum to roll over Phil, but it didn't work.
Judo is awesome, i miss doing it with Melissa very much. I also miss having to resort to hair-pulling because Melissa was so much better at it than me.
Today is good.
