My First Night Back

Well things went very well for being away from class for so long. The 1 hour of cardio about killed me which I was just getting used to before my injury, but I expected it. My ribs didnt hurt too much the whole night so I actually was pretty aggressive. I got my first successful sweep followed by kimura submission, also my first submission. The dvds I watched while away and repeated in my mind to learn actually helped quite a bit. The guy I submitted has only been in class for about 6 months but he was impressed with how well I applied what I learned from the tapes since I had never tried them against a resisting opponent. I was still using quite a bit of strength to pull off the sweep so I still dont have the technique down well but its a big improvement for me since I am always the one being submitted.

A Week Away

Well I have been on vacation for a little over a week enjoying fun and sun in Hawaii. Now that I am back I plan on going to class Wen. I think my ribs can handle class again but I will know for sure tommorrow. I cant wait to actually get back to class, I packed on a few pounds while away from class and my cardio probably sucks again but oh well.
