Happy Friday everyone! Friday is Murphy's Law day in the construction industry. Hopefully we have a good one this time. Enjoy your day!

so why is today Murphy's Law day, or is it any day before a nice 3 day weekend?

Every Friday is Murphy's Law day in Ontario construction. There are more vehicle issues. (breakdowns, flat tires etc) Equipment malfuntions (Demo Hammers, Quickcut saws, concrete vibrators etc) Injuries (completely avoidable accidents) Fights onsite between trades or even within some rough trades. Theft (this one is unreal) Issues with blueprints and sitings being incorrect or engineer issues Inspection issues and the list goes on. Must be because they are all anticipating the weekend and usually concerned with the traffic when they go home. Too much rushing is what I think is the cause. We had our 3 day weekend last weekend in Ontario, Canada and like clockwork we had a boom truck crane breakdown and another vehicle breakdown about an hour away. It's always something.

I've been working my B game for about a year now, using half guard to stitch in between closed guard and X guard. I don't know how the idea of kimura trap got in my thick head but I've been working it for a while now and have found great success, plus it goes right into my judo background with the throws and weird triangle setups... I am going to start working on an instructional by David Avellan, anyone else someone would recommend?

I like the Kimura instructional from Danaher alot but most people find him very dry and arrogant. Great for getting sleepy though.

I have watched his closed guard and basics ones - very slow passed but I have learned a good amount from those. Thanks sir, I'll check it out...

Worked all day. Getting ready to teach regular Gi class. Been dealing with groin pain (pulled) for a few weeks but have not taken the time off to heal. Just getting worse but feel bad if I don't go in to teach as not too many availabe to cover.

You hurt your MaGroin?

Good Morning, Just at work. Tripped yesterday and fell forward hard. Luckily I did a forward breakfall and saved my head and face from hitting the concrete floor in the shop. Managed to give myself a little whiplash which aggravated an already existing issue with my neck. Now I am just icing trying to get it to settle. Pisses me off because now I have to take the night off from teaching and training. Maybe the rest of the week. Anyway it was a scorcher out here yesterday and today promises to be a very warm day as well. I actually love the hot weather but most people I know hate it. LOL

Damn, hope you are starting to feel better sir. Aggravating crap always sucks. Hope it starts feeling better quick for ya

Good Morning!
