A quick update to keep things ticking over nicely.

I haven't been to the gym in about a week. Feel a bit disgusting. My diet slipped majorly, too! But today I am attempting to right it, so I'm up nice and early to gym before work, giving me a longer workout. Also to stop being shit and get on top of my diet. Gosh darn. Admitting it has made me realise I have control over it, this is a good thing for sure.

In training it's been hard, I've been getting the shit kicked out of me. One guy, M, kicked me with a back kick on the pad so hard, I flew literally from half way across the hall into the wall. Master K looked horrified but I couldn't stop laughing. M is a 6'4 heavy built guy, I probably should not have held the pad for him, ahaha.

My flexibility is very good at the moment, pushing myself at home/in the gym/in spare time has really helped and it's now beginning to show in class! Woopah! Must keep it up.

I seem to be able to grasp Hapkido a lot better than some others in class, which is good. I usually end up showing people how to do things when I've only seen the technique and not done it before. Yesterday I spent the part where we did Hapkido showing a fair few people in detail how to exact the movement. It's good to know I'm a step ahead of Ramboneses in this department because he used to be better than me at it. Swings and roundabouts!

Sparring hurts, but always go forward. We all had a go at sparring Master K, points style, and I was the ONLY one to go forward and not be scared when fighting him. This lead me to achieve the most (still no points, but the most, haha). So always put pressure on, ignore the belt and experience, because they might have a bad day and you can score off them!

Anyway, that's it from me, gym time!
