Oh. My. Hell. Okay, so I never expected a broken rib to be fun. But I also did not expect how bad it has gotten in the last few days. Several times per day my rib actually “pops” when I turn wrong or move wrong, and sends me pretty much to the floor, nearly unable [...]
I realized that it has beena while since I expressed how pleased I am wit the class I am. No, not just pleased… I really am thankful that I found it (okay, so my brother in law found it… but that’s beside the point.) I have done martial arts and wrestling off and on for [...]
I had not planned to go to class last night due to my rib. But my wife knows how much I love Judo (and has become much more liberal since I filled out those life insurance forms), so she convinced me to go. I am really glad I did. There was a new student who [...]

Judo class was really good last night. We had three new students, which is always neat to see. I wish we had mixed it up a bit more… maybe some Randori or something so I could have gotten more interaction wit the new people, but that will come with time. I also noticed a pattern [...]
You know, I was standing in the shower this morning thinking about what moves would work best for me in Judo, and I realized I think about that almost every day. This is a bit odd… Not because it’s odd that I like Judo, but because I have not found this whole obsession around strategy [...]
Okay, so I want to touch base on a few things in this post, Judo class, as well as my thought on the lat UFC, and where MMA is headed. Judo class this weekend was great. We drilled a bit on the moves I will be testing on soon (going for my green belt, woo-hoo.) [...]
