Krav Maga, Thoughts...
Another week of Krav passes by. Did a lot of groundwork this week, which is quite fun except for the swiveling around on the ground part. I really need to work on my breakfalls/ukemi, keep forgetting to tuck my chin in. Gonna break my neck some day if I don't do it soon. Realised that doing a stationary breakfall as compared to having someone push you to the ground is a totally different feeling. Each time I do it, I can feel my brain getting rattled inside my skull. According to JiaSheng, a very nice judoka dude, I'm hitting the ground too hard and the dizziness will disappear once you're used to it.
SO my new year resolution is to do about 20(?) ukemi everyday! I feel good; having a new year resolution before the year is up. :D
I think the groin guard doesn't really work. I got knee-ed in the groin and could feel the impact. Hahahaha BUT I guess the pain's good. Injuries and pain are good reminders not to commit the same mistake again. I'm still trying to figure out how I got this shoe print on my chest now. Judging from the sole, it think it's probably a pair of New Balance trainers. I don't remember getting kicked there. Oh well I guess that's what happens when you do groundwork. I have cuts on my first 2 knuckles as well; I guess it's from punching the tyres. Hahaha those tyres are a mystery. No one seems to use them and they just hang there. I guess it's because they are new tyres so hitting it can cause cuts due to the prescence of the threads.
Hahahaha I guess I'm lucky; others got elbowed in the face, bitten on the forehead, punched in the ear etc. Hope they're alright.
*Just in case you are wondering, I'm not the one doing all of the above damages. :)
Hmmm, I think I need to start doing some soothing exercises. I'm like a lake. Seemingly calm and nice on the surface but the water currents beneath can be very strong. The water currents refers to packets of aggression concentrated somewhere. Maybe it's the Krav training. I guess it's partly because of certain emotional stuff happening right now, mixed with the nature of Krav training. Somehow they just blend together to create a very explosive mixture. I need to learn to control that. Maybe I'll do some tai-chi exercises.
And I need to start blocking out certain things. Though it may be difficult to do so, I'll need to start trying.
Oh if you've just read the above paragraph and feel slighlty alarmed, please don't. I don't have a violent streak in me. I'm generally happy and nice, unless provoked. :D
