Judo and Nephews

Judo for 1 hour again today with Cuz.

He said I appeared much more confident. I gripped with intent.

Drilled basic leg sweep and pulling them onto my back in prep for throwing.

Briefly drilled standing up from floor (leg and arm posted, swing leg behind and stand - keep hand up and leg up for def.)

Nephews sleeping over. They played Mario Kart and sang the star music.

Lagarto on Sunday!

Physio

Yesterday's (Tuesday) physio went well.

Had a massage on my traps and acupuncture, which really loosened up the tight muscle.

Needled (jk) Gm about Marley and Me.

Felt great, but dizzy.

Shoulder still aches this morning, but it's definitely getting better.

Gm said it could take 6-8 weeks in total until I can roll again!

Heal, please.

Side break fall - be sure to bring forearm back to face area.

Front break fall - only did it briefly.

Kettlebell work=great! Note to self: buy a kettlebell.

Shoulder wasn't too painful.

Judo and Docs

RECAP

Yesterday day's Judo chat was good. Talked about the compass points.

Pulling them into you.
Pushing them out.
Footwork.

Last night's (Wednesday) sit in BJJ lesson was great. Just watching the guys roll and have fun really boosted my moral.

TODAY

Judo soon again with Cuz, then Dr's appointment.

Shoulder is healing nicely.

Post-Physio

Physio yesterday (Tuesday) was good.

She told me that I'd already done most of her work for her because I'd been icing, Ibuprofen'ing, and doing ROM exercises.

She did some ultrasound, massaged the area, chatted some, then booked me in for next week.

She was very kind and pleasant.

AFTERNOON

Spent some time with Cuz. He showed me some basics, including the compass concept.

I look forward to learning how to throw people.


TONIGHT


This evening I'll be sitting in on my BJJ class.

I'll do this reguarly now until my shoulder heals.

Saturday watching

Got a nice call from Cuz early this morning inviting me to go and watch his BJJ lesson.

Washed and dressed.

Cuz picked me up and off we went.

Was great to be in the BJJ environment.

I miss it.

A few asked me how I was, which was nice.

Cuz's knee twinged, but he enjoyed himself.


Heal time!
