Hi all,

Unfortunately I am still gimping around with a huge foot brace on.  My hopes are high though, and I am dying to get back (not to mention that I am putting on weight again in this sedentary state :(  )

The last class I was at was a really neat experience.  We had Akbar come from another Judo class and work with us a bit.  His grip is amazing (my arm is stil purple.)  He really helped me to understand a concept I ahve read about on the internet known as “grip-fighting” (although Akbar didn’t call it that.)  He just maintained a constant, relaxed game of cat and mouse, owrking for the best grip.  Once he had one he liked he would throw.  It was really an eye opening way of looking at Judo for me.  When I can fight again I intend to play with it a bit.
