I finally had a chance to sit down and get online. It's been a very long and tiring day. I arrived this afternoon and have been on the go none stop until now. It's past midnight, and I'm exhausted--extremely. (And, my damn shoulder is bugging the hell out of me.) I wanted to write a quick blog entry though before passing out for the night.
I taught a private lesson this evening and got some rolling in at New Breed's Rockwell branch in Makati. I also answered some questions that the students had. I rolled 5 rounds and I felt like a zombie each round--seemed like I was just going through the motions. I wanted to roll though and break a sweat so I can sleep well tonight, hopefully.
The guys are getting better and better every time I see them. I've said it before and I'll say it again, I think that a good number of Pinoy jiu-jitsu practitioners could hang with competitors anywhere in the world at their respective belt levels. Personally, I think outside of Japan, the Philippines has the highest level of BJJ athletes right now in Southeast Asia.
I took some video and pics of the training, but I'm too tired to do anything with them yet. I'll compile some more footage/pics and post some up in the coming days.
Tomorrow's going to be a busy day. O joy... Will write more tomorrow.
