On Saturday, my work day was alright. At training, I kind of snapped … I’m frustrated I can’t do certain things to my satisfaction.<\/p>\n

So I was totally freaking out. But then I set some goals for the class, calmed down, and DID spar. I had no problems doing striking while sparring MMA- I just really really despise kickboxing only. ~_~; Noripi was watching me and went out of his way to give me advice. I like that kid. \ud83d\ude42 I spilled my guts to BJ-san, and he told me that I have ingrained bad habits from years and years of doing it, and we’ll have to work really hard to fix them, and spend a lot of time on it. My response: Do I have to? -____-;; Akano-san beat me in our fight and didn’t land a single punch!!<\/p>\n

The answer is, yes I do have to try, and here’s why:
\nFirst of all, things aren’t all or nothing.
\nThis goes for anything in life.
\nSay you have a problem, and you KNOW you can’t fix it 100%.
\nIf you don’t try and fix it, there will be 0% change. If you make an effort to fix it, there may be even 5% or 10% improvement. Although small, isn’t it better than nothing?<\/p>\n

Anyway. We did some wrestling after that, but I didn’t enjoy it as much as jiu-jitsu. I learned a few things, though.<\/p>\n

Sunday was like a blur….I woke up at THREE AM……………………!!! ~_~;; I kept losing track of time and how many lessons I was teaching, I was so exhausted and sleep deprived.
\nMe: *class bell chimes* “Well good job today, so your homework is…”
\nstudent: “Uh I have one more lessons….”
\nMe: “Oops sorry ~_~; So take a break and I’ll be right back…”<\/p>\n

BUT AFTER THAT!!! There was much greatness….in the form of PIZZA AND A HUGE HUMUNGOUS ICE CREAM SUNDAE!!! XD
\n\"\"<\/a>
\nIt’s called Hero’s Pizza, and has pepperoni, tomato chunks, shrimp, corn, and green peppers. XD<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

My friend and former student Meiko, and my new American friend Brittany who sometimes comes to Ground Slam! \ud83d\ude00
\n\"\"<\/a>
\nThen we managed to get to Isami before it closed, and I bought a cell phone cover that looks like an MMA glove. Brittany one, so I got a matching one, except red version of her black! XD It was 5,000 yen \ud83d\ude21 Kind of splurged there….
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Yesterday, Monday, my body was dragging but I went to training and had fun. I did one MMA round with Wicky, and then trained in the general class with Arai-san. We did various techniques (grappling, of course) and then sparred MMA. It was fun \ud83d\ude00
\nI lifted weights in the evening a little bit. Wanted to do BJJ but wasn’t up to it. :\/ various things are hurting…<\/p>\n

Oh, and my fish “Drifter” died. ;_;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
