I remember about 100 push-ups 25 with knuckles, 25 ox jaw, 25 diamond from the middle of the chest and 25 with arms stretched out. 150 or so sit ups all different and this thing we called flutters where we had to lay on our backs pick our feet up about 6" and move our legs out in then cross for 2 min of eternity. Then all the kicks 15 times each. getting there early and stretching was what a person had to do. Then technic,sparring and judo. every couple of months we would all just go across the street for pizza and beer. Every night was different but the beginning exercise was always the same. It made me sweat like all hell. towards the end there I was getting pretty good at it. I would like to do it again but I need to up my game on the exercise and practice more technic with Sammy the guy at work from Thailand that has a human gut compactor and eats anything that smells bad. Maybe in the spring.
I used a traditional Korean gi once and switched back to the lighter fabric because of it. That thing was heavy. I only made it to red belt.
I'm glad you are still with it. and I'm jealous actually.
Thanks Maggs
I really enjoy it. Typically my class starts at 6:30 and we knock off about 8:30, Tue and Thur starts off with forms, then sparring and then the real workout, Master keeps changing it every day and we rarely do 2 workouts that are similar. One night we did 410 pushups, that fucking hurt.
I sweat like a pig and you can tell everywhere on the floor where I have been doing sit-ups, pushups, leg lifts and planks, makes sparring treacherous in the wet spots. I regularly hear across the gym "Danny been here".
When done I usually have sweat dripping from the ends of my belt (brown/Black at the moment)
I usually wear the light uniform but have a heavy one for Tournaments and testing. Judo and Jiu Jitsu are young mens activities, I have too many joint injuries for that
