Entry #7

I did pretty good last night. I competed in four matches.

First match: Lost. I did horrible in my first one. I think I danced
around too much at the beginning and tired myself out. Also, my
opponent socked me right in the eye at one point and it started
watering up, and I couldn't see anything. I had to give up.

Second match: Tie. Nothing special happened here, we just duked it out until we both gave up.

Third match: Win. Have this one on film. Lasted 4 minutes 22
seconds. I wore him out pretty much. At the end I got him in a corner
and wailed on him and he gave up.

Fourth match: Win. This was against a different person than the last
three. Have this one on film. Fight lasted 1 minute 41 seconds. He hit
pretty hard but I dodged almost all of them. I got him hard in the
stomach, also got some face shots in. He gave up.

Strong points:
Strength/hitting power is at a good level
Speed is at a good level
Dodged a lot of shots, good blocking

Weak points:
Lack of bodyshots (still head hunting)
Need to work on endurance (I tired out pretty fast)

Here are some blurry pics of me versus Malcolm (I'm in the brown):

Haha, he just couldn't stop laughing. That was my first time meeting
Malcolm and it was worth the 45 minute drive to Santa Cruz. He can sure
cook good barbeque.

 

Entry #6
Nothing really happening today. I have a fight tomorrow in Santa
Cruz at my friend's house, so I'm saving my strength for tomorrow. I'll
post what happens on Sunday. Hopefully, I'll have some pictures of it
by then as well.

Entry #3
Nothing much today. Managed to get in some bagwork for a few minutes,
along with nunchaku practice. I'll start my training schedule
tomorrow. Also, I might be participating in a match this Saturday. The
only problem is getting a ride all the way to Santa Cruz. If I do make
it, I'll try to post some pictures. I really need to work on my
technique more. Last match I had didn't go very well. It's true I was
wearing loose shoes, but I was really sloppy. Gotta work on that.

Entry #2
I'm not going to be doing a whole lot of training today or
tomorrow due to all the homework I have. Wednesday, I'm going to
be going to the gym. I plan on recording my hours of sleep, my diet,
and the work that I do. I can at least do some bagwork
tomorrow. On another note, I received one of the nunchaku that I
ordered in the mail today. It's a practice one, so it's made out of
rubber. The real one should be coming in a week or so. I got a
chance to practice with them for about ten minutes.

Trust me, it looks even worse in motion. Verdict: I suck with nunchaku.
