I sparred a lot with him, Celine, and I sparred Lion Takeshi for the first time!  :O  He asked me to spar just when I was gonna take a break&#8230;but he would have kicked my butt even if I weren&#8217;t tired. \ud83d\ude41  He&#8217;s like Shooto champ. lol I just wish I could have done better. Grar ;_; He thought it was hilarious to pepper my face with punches when I was clinching him against the wall, trying to work a take down.  I was so focused I wasn&#8217;t being bothered&#8230;but I bet if he punched for real I would. Which was probably why he was laughing. lol<\/p>\n<p>Tony showed me this cool secret attack move that is called&#8230;.! I&#8217;m not telling. XD I&#8217;m gonna work on it more. Mhwahahaha  I&#8217;m having a lot of fun training with you, Tony! \ud83d\ude00 Steve showed us lots of leg locks.  I definitely have my preference for leg-locks, but we worked them all.  Towards the end of the second class&#8217; practice, my worn-out body couldn&#8217;t take any more and I kind of collapsed. ._.; But I&#8217;d sparred hard in the beginning.  <\/p>\n<p>I then taught Katsumura-san English for a while and then did various things in the afternoon. Finally mailed my Dad&#8217;s present!  That was a big accomplishment in my day. I hope it is perfect!<\/p>\n<p>Then I took Tony all the way to Ikebukuro to go to the Inoki Sakaba restaurant BUT IT HAD CLOSED. I was soooooooooooo disappointed. ~_~; It took a while to get there and I really wanted to show him&#8230;.. ;___; Bakabakabakabakaaaaaaa!  We should have just gone to the one in Shinjuku. I even checked the website, but misunderstood the interwebs. &#8211;;<\/p>\n<p>We ended up finding another place.  I still had a lot of fun. XD  <\/p>\n<p>Today will be another busy day. I have some stuff going on at my work-place and related to my company.  It&#8217;s a little stressful.  I hope everything turns out well.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On Sunday, I worked and then hung out with Tony in Kawasaki in the evening.
