Judo 30 Jan

Hitting each other with cleaning implements is an essential part of any judo regime.

A great judo session. My drills are very, very slowly coming along.

Randori was good. I am slowly getting a feel for balance, timing, etc. The main thing I want to achieve, as I’ve said before, is just a little experience standing up so that it’s no surprise at the BJJ comps, and I can look all cool and calm when I’m standing instead of hopping around like a baby giraffe on drugs.

We also did some intense “circuit” training, where someone barks out commands for a minute (DASH! SIT UPS! PRESS UPS! SWITCH! JUMP! SPRAWL! etc.) which is great for short-term energy levels, endurance, and is just plain killer. We did three rounds of that with I think a 20 second break in between.
