Hectic.

Had to work late last night, so I had to skip the gym.
Not ideal, but sometimes it happens.
Jujitsu was good, actually got to work some stand-up. Take downs in a gi are very different from in a singlet. I was a pretty mediocre wrestler (at best), but was always pretty good on my feet. So far the gi is a huge change that I'm going to have to get used to. There are so many places to get grabbed, I went for a shot, got stuffed (my opponent had a hold of my collar), then I stepped on my own pants and tripped. An inauspicious start. From there had several good rolls though.
I have a private lesson tonight with the Professor. Should be interesting.

Back in the saddle.

Mostly.
Good rolls last night. We had "snow" in Seattle the other day, so class was sparse. I worked some take-downs, basics and transitions, then had a couple good sparring sessions.
I missed a chance to spar with the Professor. He started talking to someone, and I got accosted by a purple belt.. it happens. Tweaked my elbow again, totally my fault. I was fighting off the arm-bar, and made a mistake.. and Oww. Didn't get injured, just hurt.
More on the secret stuff this afternoon.
Thanks again to everyone for the good vibes.
