Anybody want to make me a T-shirt
It would say "World's Worst Judoka". I got fucking owned last night. Hell, Stallone nearly beat me on the ground and in randori and I outweigh him by like 120 lbs. Admittedly my wrist was fucked still, but come on. Then I went up against Ajax (like a sea wall for the Tohoku) and got chewed out for being too stiff. I just wasn't sure how to handle him. I'm used to being much bigger than the people I fight, and here I was up against a guy that probably has 50 lbs. on me and maybe ten inches. Totally crazy and I barely held him off until he turned one of my own throws against me and dropped me. Suck ass. Plus one of the Monday-Wednesday crowd black belts tossed me and I landed right on my shoulder, which is still fucked up today. It was a pretty bad night. Definitely I am regretting taking off the two Tuesdays I skipped due to travel fatigue and laziness. Lame. I also gotta get back on the non-Judo fitness wagon, because I think if I wasn't constantly out of breath I might have time to actually fight.

Everyone has a shitty day at practice. It happens. Don’t beat yourself up more than you already are.

Fair enough. If I were smart I'd, you know, use this to motivate me to practice more and think more about what I'm doing wrong.

Yeah, you have the occasional off day; the important thing is that you keep going back and keep learning.

Well, yeah, I guess I could take it with some perspective or something...:)

Thanks man. That's the plan, to get back on the horse. I think I was just disappointed as right before my vacation I was seeming to finally be getting somewhere so this pullback was particularly disappointing.

Sorry you had a bad night.

Definitely agree that you shouldn't beat yourself up too much tho. You have a hurt wrist and took some time out, so the rustiness is understandable. And if you got to a certain level before the hiatus, you know you can get there again, which I have found to be reassuring when the same thing has happened to me.

Besides Telamonian Ajax is made of a lot of meat and fury!

And if it makes you feel any better, I came damn close to puking after practice this evening.

Ah, now that's the best. :) I got that the first time I came back after my vacation.
