I had a huge problem with this in class and ended up having to only train it with the instructor. I’d overdo the final roll, every time, and what this gif doesn’t demonstrate is that in a real fight if you’re crazy enough to do this, instead of landing in the figure four lock you just keep rolling and it dislocates the shoulder (and twists up some nasty ligaments/arteries) of your opponent.

For some reason that was what I kept doing and so I had to work with Sensei for like a week to learn to brakefall. Whenever I wouldn’t, he’d do this nifty counter roll that I had the benefit of learning through proximity.

God, I miss my instructors.

Make a “laser grid" by taping yarn to the walls and let your kids try to get though it. Also great for parties and laughing at your friends.

I mean really, who doesn’t see those lasers on tv and think it would be fun to try…

Elementary School

Today on my way home, the road was blocked off because people were protesting near city hall in Oakland. We made a detour and passed by my elementary school. I haven't been back there in over a decade. The hill that I used to roll down with my friends look tiny. I barely recognized the school. Oh to go back to that time...

non-english speaker: I am awfully sorry at the terrible state of my English abilities, as for the English language is not my mother tongue. I hope you forgive me for every foolish mistake I make.

english as first language: lol it okei

Grips and Graps Seminar

Yesterday I went to an escape from grips and grabs seminar by world renowned police trainer Dave Young. The experience was mind-blowing. I've taken countless self defense classes throughout the years and what he taught threw everything that I learned out the window. Instead of teaching us different escapes from different holds, he taught us three simple ones that work from almost any grip. He also taught us how to be aware and better responses to situations than how we would likely react. Not only did he cover what to do in compromising situations, he also told us what to do if we ever ended up in court. We know that he's not bsing because he's survived knife fights and assaults as a police officer. I would never try to get myself into compromising situations, but I feel a lot safer with what I learned yesterday. I'm going to teach all my loved ones what I learned because I truly believe that it can save them one day. If you ever get the opportunity, I highly recommend taking a seminar with him.
