Overthinking and Also Hungry

I rinsed and washed Andy’s tie-dye shirt from Monday’s event at Rock Spot. Andy picked up this shirt when they went to the mall with Allison and Eva and Eva’s friends. It says on it, “Overthinking and Also Hungry”. Sounds about right. The shirt was plain white so Andy decided that rather than buying a new rock Spot shirt we’d just tie-dye this one instead. It came out really nice, the colors were very vibrant. The shirt looks way better than the ones I made at ABD. I should have taken those shirts with me to that we could have fixed them or something. Maybe we’ll do our own tie-dying this Summer.

Buddy week continues at the dojo and today at Krav the adults learned a few techniques for being choked from behind. Sensei did call on me to help demonstrate but saw how sweaty I was and picked someone else. He called on another person and they came up to me asking if they could borrow some sweat. Everyone got a good laugh. I was trying hard to have a very hard workout because I’ll be off for a month and I know I’m going to feel so behind when I return. We did not learn the hip toss in the adult class, which is good because I did not have my regular partner. My partner for this could have thrown me across the room and I would have probably had a spinal injury trying to move him.

For the afternoon class the kids worked on the technique that the adults learned in the morning which ultimately lead to learning how to defend against being choked from behind while seated at a school desk. Andy helped with one part of the demonstration. I’ve warned him that they have to move more and get sweatier so they don’t get called on as a volunteer. Sensei was demonstrating how to break a wrist after getting out from the choke.
