UNBRIDLED TRUTH

I know I'm late posting this. Alas. Monday   Muay Thai double class The first class this day was a padwork session by the guest kru. It stuck to basic strikes but mixed them around in a few ways to build comfort with different transitions. It was nothing groundbreaking, but my balance was a bit off this day, so it was a good coincidence that I was able to function mostly on muscle memory while focusing more on staying in control of my body. The second class was a light sp

Trying to arrange things such that I can stay for double classes more often again, but that was not something that yielded results for this week. Monday   Muay Thai class This was a nine-spot drill station gauntlet rotation to start the week off hot. It felt like I did well through the first seven stations (plus a free bagwork bonus station), but I fell off a cliff for the last two.

Even the awkwardness of doing those in a trio didn't stop me from having fun. Granted, the drills themselves had a couple of oddballs, as I expec

I really do want to get back to doing more with that Ironsworn Actual Play series, but I somehow keep getting distracted by other things, even after I did start on the next session. I want to make it happen again this week, because I do want to play more with Quinn, but sometimes, the brain does not cooperate. Monday   Muay Thai class We did head-to-head back-and-forth defense drills with the guest kru. That's always fun stuff, though it's a little odd to me that he encoura

I remain discombobulated. Monday   Muay Thai double class The guest kru had us working on low kick defense and counters. It started out quite practical, by his standards, though it did stretch on and on to the point of feeling more useful for keeping up good technique through fatigue than for real use. That's still a good thing to work on, though, so I've got no real complaints. I was also just glad to be back to training after a break. Tuesday   Muay Thai class This was a
