Week 8/12 - 8/19

Mon. 4 stick sparring matches. 11 x 4 min hands only sparring matches. No break other than 30 sec. Between matches. Wore 4 oz. gloves thinking we would keep it light, I was wrong. Have not been hit that hard in a long time. Lots of blowing out blood that night. On the positive side I feel my sparring conditioning is good. Finished with some push- ups & abs.

Tues. Rode the bike for 50 min. Then did some strength training. At night worked forms & grappled 4 x 4 min light matches.

Wed. Ran 5m in the morning. First run in in almost 8 weeks. At night had a great session with Rick & Stats. 4 x 2min bow sparring, 4 x 2min knife sparring, 8 x 3min grappling matches. Finished with push-ups & abs. Had great night of training.

Thurs. Biked 40 min. Strength training after.

Fri. Ran 5m.

Sat. Strength & conditioning

Sun. Ran 5m with 3 sets of one legged squats & pull - ups.

started back running this week. Foot is still hurting, not any worse though. The sparring Monday was a good test of stamina & sharpness. Stamina felt good, need to work on the sharpness. A few good bumps & bruises this week. Martial arts is life changing, makes everything possible.
