Erm.. wow.. Its already June, so it have been a month long since I started blogging.. It also reminded me that I got a lot of assignments to submit. Plus, gonna be ready for the upcoming exam and a test this Friday... Wooh.. Life is good..

I feel so relieved last night, it have been 2 weeks since I last stretched my muscles. After goin back to the training ground, I feel so much refreshed right now.. Its look like a lot of my colleague in the Gayong regiment have improved. I was kinda ashamed of myself, cause Id have forgotten a lot of moves and there are some moves that I still haven't learned yet. I am lucky to have my friends to back me up.

There was a sparring session last night that I didn't even know it was a sparring. Id just came out volunteering myself to be the opponent.

Id said to my teacher "What's this Sensei?".
My friend 'Ibrahim' which is my opponent at that time said "Don't hit the head and the crotch"
??
Then I knew it was a sparring.. LOL.. i was a bit awkward back then because it have been a very long time since I done this. The last time I did is while I was in High school learning Karate under Shito Ryu or in a Silat competition. Which one I don't remember

That means, it have been about 3 years or sumthin! All my coordination, precision, power, balance and form is off. The outstanding charecteristic of the expert athlete is his ease of movement, even during maximal effort.

Ahh.. I really need to get rid of this excess fat in my belly.. Really slowing my movement..

Careful Training..

It was a very quite evening that day, so I was thinking of perfecting my martial art training. Martial arts like Silat Gayong, Karate Do or Naqib Do have always been an important part of my life. Maybe it was because my siblings used to always fight with each other that our family very much keen on learning Martial arts. Almost everybody in my family learns martial art , even both my sister which won some Gold medals in competitions they participated.

Alright, enough with the history... back to the story...
Naturally I would just do some exercize in my room or go out and jog around the college. Somehow, on that evening I managed myself to find a nice spot behind the Surau to do my training. From there I started stretching, pumping and all those kinda stuff. My real purpose to go out that day is to perform a handspring. It was great, I managed to do a couple of time until I grew tired of it and planning to do a 'somersault'. Then so I tried, I jumped, I wasn't able to capitalize, I fall, then BAMM!!! WUOOOH!!




My bottom crushed my leg and it was very painful. I could not move for awhile... crawling to the nearest wall and sit there to ease my pain. The moral I got from this experience is NO PAIN NO GAIN!! I am gonna do it again but with a more careful approach.
