From May 28th - Look ma, no hands!

This past Thursday night, we continued our footwork drills, which I need... badly. This time, it was a series of scenarios where the defender could not use their hands to prevent being pushed or knocked off balance. The final drill of the night restricted the defender to only being able to use head control against their opponent. I think that's where these bad boys came in. Be warned, thar be moob ahead!
















And for a detailed shot of my left arm (couldn't resist because of the color variations)...

Finally... something of mine

Well, here we are, my first official BOH post. Two minor ones, but, the only visible injuries since I started down this crazy path.

One is the direct result of a series of combination bare knuckle punches to the bags in class.










Next is what happens when you throw a wild right hook at a 1st Degree Black Belt who's being prepped to test up to 2nd. When they shut you down, they're going to shut you down hard. Unfortunately, it's taken a few days to show up (this happened this past Tuesday). It's still a bit swollen, too.













And third, which you can't see... is a thumb that's been sprained for the third time since February. Ah, well... such is life.
