Picked myself up a gilet. £8.00 from George

Cheap clothes are the way forward.

Just got in from the cinema from seeing Youth In Revolt (ok film not amazing).
On the walk home I noticed how grey and miserable it was outside, but listening to The Lightbringer it was almost fitting haha. So I snapped the path I was walking down on my phone.

Got the last two from http://revhq.com/. Had only planned on getting the SYG one but due to the postage being fairly high I decided to pick up and couple and this bad boy for my BJJ gi.

Also rev decided to throw in a free gift which is always cool.

Haven't had a web belt since the old days when I used to skate and swore by my Billabong one.
As if I really need any more Straight Edge attire haha.
Ah well someone has to haha.

Couple of new records

Dirty Money No Escaping This 7"
Dont think this band needs any introduction.
Last show is sold out which is a bit of a pain. Still gonna try and get a ticket somehow.
If you have been living under a rock

After not being able to find the cinema in time on Monday night, xDugganx and I decided it was good idea to get some pizza, head back to mine and have a lil record session.
After creaming over a bunch of records he has collected over the years he gave me two he used to sell on his distro. Both bands I hadn't heard of which was cool. Always good to find out about new/old bands.

Band from California. Members went on to be in Allegiance, Blacklisted, Set It Straight, Set Your Goals.

020210....

First BJJ session back today after having a month off.
What is there to say really.
No cardio!
No hip movement!
No explosive power!
No technique!
No grip!
No cardio!
No cardio!!
No cardio!!!


I wouldn't recommend taking a month off training anything at all.
Next time I have to take time off, I will definitely be hitting the weights and the treadmill.


Class was taken by Andre which was cool. Some really cool chokes from butterfly guard.
None of which really worked for me that well as my grip was that of a ten year old girl!
But hey I think I got the basic idea.
I'd like to be able to try and explain the chokes like slideyfoot does, but my literacy skills are limited and I'd rather not miss important details out, maybe its something ill get better at.


Sparring was horrible haha. First couple with experienced blue belts, who just fucking rinsed me, was to be expected really and I would rather that, than try and ease myself back into the swing of things slowly. As the late great Carlson Gracie himself once said "If you want to be a lion, you must train with lions."


After, I sparred with a couple of new guys, nice chilled spars? Haha who the fuck am I kidding, both previous judo guys I think, both wanting to pull my head off.
First guy, I just about did enough to lazily defend any choke attempts and pretty much just lay underneath not doing anything.
Second guy did a little better with, quite a good roll with a few sweeps and sub attempts, got a pretty cool armbar from the mount. Almost got a second but for some reason my hand decided to let go of his arm as I sat back.
Really had to push myself to keep going, after resetting found it real hard not to just lay on the floor, but instead to throw myself back at it and push through.


Definitely going to take me a few sessions to get back into the swing of things but couldn't be happier to be back on the mat.
Next session Thursday.
Heard whisperings of a guy who trains with us, maybe, running a Judo class on a Wednesday as he has just got his BJA coaching qualification.
That would be awesome.
Planning to train Thursday and Sunday this week then hit the gym for some clean and press and "rockmans" next Monday. Maybe go for a jog on the Friday but I'll have to see how I feel, dont want to over do it.
