Today. Today was a good session. I think I missed taekwondo. Don't get me wrong, I love hapkido, but the physical exertion of taekwondo, and the sparring, that's hard to beat. We haven't done any hapkido sparring. I mean, after class we've horsed around, but nothing serious.

I thought today would not be so good, but whilst warming up, I began to feel energised. We did drill and fitness things for a while, before padding up and starting sparring. Not sure what happened to me mentally but before I entered the dojang, I didn't want to fight. After I geared up. Yeah I wanted to fight, back to my usual self, ahehehe.

I accidentally kicked my little bro in the face today. It was a turning kick, pulled, and with pads on, but it caught him on the bridge of the nose. I felt really bad, but at the same time, woo, stretching is working! It was an easy shot to make considering he's taller than me. I'm getting better.

Simply looking at myself in the mirror to judge if my body comp has changed won't work. I can never tell the difference and am never happy. But things like getting head shots, that is a lot easier to tell. And more accurate. This will be my guide instead. Much safer.

Nathan, the red belt, is going to show me how to use free weights tomorrow. We're going to the gym together (at 6:15am! Gosh!), and I know he beasts things, so this will be hard. But I want to see what he does and how I can improve. So far I wander into the gym and do a bit of cardio on my lunch breaks. I need a better routine to help with my fighting and stamina. I need to become what I want to be. I've worked hard to get this far, but I'm still a long way off. So here we go!
