I donated blood once and rolling felt really sluggish for a few days. Not the same thing obviously, but it all effects your performance.
I spent the weekend fixing my computer. Now that it's stable, I can hold on to my promise about doing more marketing stuff this year. Started setting up a website today. And I noticed that I've lost all proper photos of me. Gotta get creative I guess. I don't really care about what pictures I use as long as they are not my selfies. I tried uploading a selfie for my profile picture on this site and it got denied quite fast. :D

I went to P3 Martial Arts in Schaumburg again and hung out with fake sandbagging definitely-shouldn't-still-be-a-blue-belt John Byrne. Good to see you again, John!

Good to see you Bridget! I appreciate it. Perhaps soon before Atlanta - I dunno. Thanks for the nice compliment.
I taught o-soto-gari to osoto-makkikomi then a straight arm lock / wristlock combo after you hit the bastard with the mat :)

Good Morning All
At work. It's snowing today so there is always that to look forward to...NOT!
Most workers went home so now just doing payroll and estimating.
No training going on due to the Stay at Home order. Even secret training is not really happening.
Had one of my workers pulled over by the police randomly in Burlington to ask where he was going and why. Totally in contravention of their assertion on their website that they would not be doing that. Told him that he should have a travel letter from the company stating that he is an essential worker (we are). Their police actually states that no one has to provide proof at any time that they are essential workers. So again in contravention of their assurances. Called the Police to ask what was going on and they denied that any officer would do that. Well that one did I told the Supervisor and she had no answer. Oh well, I made up a letter for the workers but my verbiage was pretty much saying "we don't have to show you shit so piss off" but in a nice way. Well that's what's going on in Ontario. /rant
Have a great day!

Feeling much better that I got some jits in. Was kind of going nuts. /report

Lucky you,
as we are still in lockdown (and now curfew, too) here in Germany, the only Training I can do is some strength & conditioning and drills/ positioning/ transitions on the dummy :-(

Did a tournament yesterday. 8 matches across 4 brackets. On my second to last match, opponent illegally reaped my knee. I still won the match but my knee is in so much pain today. :-(

Bummer. Knees are the worst body part lol. Good job though, hopefully you can walk it off in a few days.

Congrats on the W
Thanks! I only won 2 of my 8 matches but put up a good fight in 4 of the 6 I lost. One I think I would have won but we were going out of bounds as I was about to sweep her and when the ref reset us, she was ready to counter the sweep.
I fought a purple belt in absolute nogi. Took her a lot longer to tap me than I thought it would! And I did much better on takedowns and resisting takedowns than my last tournament.
Overall, good experience. Done competing for the year though! I need to work hard on conditioning because it felt like almost everyone I fought was stronger than me.

Crazy day at work today. First time all day I've had time to jump on here.
Glad it's all done though. Tomorrow will be another day of insanity it seems. Oh well.
Hopefully training with my son tonight at home and then I'll watch Band of Brothers again. Lol
Wishing you all well!

lol most refs at the smaller regional tournaments hardly call any penalties and when they do it's really random.
I've had a guy literally try to take his Gi off like 10 times and also put it over his head 6 or 7 times on purpose to avoid grips and only got a single warning no penalty or dq.
And then I've just by habit in another match barely moved my sleeves slightly past my wrists and got a penalty.
This past weekend I had a guy what seemed almost deliberately elbow me in the face twice and the ref just smiled at me. To be fair I just looked up at the ref and smiled also. lol But at least I lapel ezekiel choked the shit out of that guy with full on knee on belly extension lol I actually don't mind the shots to the head kind of wakes me up.
But the point is don't expect a ref to penalize or dq someone in a tournament match. You got to be careful and defend yourself at all times. I don't care for having coaches in my corner as they distract me...but this is where having a good coach to call out stuff like that can actually help you.
