Got outbid on a nice looking Adidas judo gi this afternoon, and no one has put a bid in yet on my black gi, Grrrr. I realise this is not a patch on Seventh or Steve's latest news, so more of a grrrr
Thanks. Ironically the only other white judo gi in size 4 is on gumtree in glasgow. What is it with the dearth of s/h size 4 gis? Blitz gis seem okay for beginners for around £25 inc p&p so secondhand for anything more than £15 is no go unless it's a better quality gi. There are just too many. After ninjutsu I don't want to commit a lot of money to kit, the club still haven't asked for mat fees for Michaelmas term so hoping it was a beginner thing but I'm allowed to train with the big boys and girls now and a black gi I think will get me bullied and at some point I will have to get my BJA card, definately for 6th kyu not that I'm in a hurry to grade
I got a bruise on my calf from a fierce Osoto gari that took 4 weeks to heal and was pushed in the face Kizure Kesa Gatame escape, twice then used it illegally later in class (til I found out last week it's not allowed) and that was a brown belt who should have been setting me an example.
The greater problem though is resistant ukes. When you have a fairly limited judo experience it's hard to learn anything. Last week I had white belt guy (who might be another grade in juijutsu) completely and successfully resist my Seoi Nage all class, would have been fine if I was allowed to change it to O Uchi Gari as his weight was so far back. I seem to bring out the fight in other fighters even when it's supposed to be a beginners class!
Lol, judo brings out the craziness for some reason. One bigger more senior guy felt the need to rip my adductor muscle by grabbing and pinching it rather than tap to a RNC (he eventually tapped anyway, lol). I guess it's a compliment when a bigger, stronger, more experienced guy resorts to that...sigh...I miss grappling.
my mom unnecessarily disliking and killing european earwigs in her house. Wtf? They arent even harmful. when they're attacked they can give a little nip with their foreceps. But they cant hurt us. and killing them just cause she dont like them. Wtf? I told her she's gonna go to a hell where the Devil is a giant european earwig.
I feel a compulsion to watch Star Trek from Star Trek The Motion Picture all the way through to Star Trek. And I have chocolate ice cream Cadbury's Wispa bars in the freezer! They is nummy! nomnomnomnomnom
AND GRRRRRRRRRRRR!!! I has mice under my floor boards and in my walls. Where the hell is Frodo when I need her to crawl down a tiny wee dark hole and kill things for me?
