Here we go...
TRAINING:
Yet another week of nerding out on sumbrada (aka 3-8-12 aka the 6 Count Drill aka the 6 Count Box Pattern) in the Kansas City Presas Arnis Meetup. We're working on inserts, specifically disarms. We also introduced the 10-count version (aka 3-8-5-12-12), which the group found really challenging but super-fun to train.
Over at Elite Dragon, we're just reviewing a lot of material in order to assess where our students stand in terms of progress. As my curriculum got blown up by COVID-19, I want to take the time to figure out who's where (as attendance has been pretty sporadic over the last 6 months).

BLOGGERY:
Tuesday: The Only Woman on the Mat
Wednesday: The Lifers
Thursday's post is one that I wrote in absolute frustration as I literally can't fathom why anybody would put people at risk over a HOBBY. It's literal insanity. I could rant about that for hours.

OTHER FUN STUFF:
This one in particular resonates with me, as I am well-known as someone who does not find squatting in the woods in the heat and cold, and getting eaten by bugs, as "fun". I can absolutely see what might drive this woman to weaponizing small woodland creatures.
FRIDAY THOUGHTS:
With Hock in town, I will barely lay eyes on Mr. Chick this weekend, and the Meetup is canceled this week. While it's probably a good thing I won't be moving around on my bum hip, I need training now more than I ever have. It's very frustrating.
November 11, hurry up and get here!
Stay safe, have fun, and keep training!
