This week has been busy busy busy. On Friday i got up at 6am and trained at the ANU open mat. This time my training client Ash came along and did some ground work, he really enjoyed it and definetely saw the value in training with a few other people. especially the really bendy guys who fight very differently to me and have feet and legs everywhere.
The ANU open mat is a great place to train if you want to just come and fight and not have to do an hour and a half instruction and only 30 minutes of fighting. At the ANU open mat you can come and do whatever you like, you can do stand up, or ground work or just come along and have a chat, all the guys are great and just love the sport of BJJ.
Saturday i worked at the servo on the morning shift and then trained at Phoenix gym. I was keen on fighting the brazilian bjj guy that runs the bjj there but he got kneed (how do you spell that) in the chest so he was out of action. So i had some good biffs with Ashley and another fella called Steve and then i just came home and hung out with Sam.
Training at Marist hasnt been on this week because Marist are having a school play on in our hall every night so unfortunbatley judo training ahsnt been on. Luckily enough i have dragged Oren of to the ANU on Wed Thu and mornings at 6am for a quick 1 hour of uchikomi and nage komi.
For the past few weeks i have been massively trying to catch up on schoolwork that i missed while i was overseas. It was my first trip overseas since i started uni so it was a good chance to see whether i could handle full time uni while training and competing over there.
I always thought that studying while overseas would be quite easy but its surprisingly quite difficult. This is because say you have training at 10 you may wake up at 8 have a shower and breaky thats 830 then you have to strap up and maybe walk or ctahc the bus to training and get there 20 minutes early so you cant do much study before then.
then if you train 10-12pm you dont get home and showered until at least 1 then lunch then snooze and then ready for trainnig again a bit later on.
O well listen to me complaining i mean im not saying its impossible its just harder to do than i first thought.
On Sunday i had my little God daughter Clares dedication at my Mum's church in Queenbeyan. She was so cute and pretty much mostly slept and didnt know what was going on but the highlight of the day was seeing my sisters other daughter Emma walking in and out giving her dad scrunched up bits of leaves. Little emma is so cute.
This week i had a maths test, unfortunatley to pass the unit you have to achieve a credit average over 3 tests. I think thats a bit rough, i mean a pass is a pass why do you have to get a credit to pass i think its silly as. I think i did ok in my maths test but a credit ooooo im not to sure.
So thats about it from my end, this weekend i have to do some heart foundation fundraising for the ACT academy or Sport for an hour this Saturday before i train at the ANU on Saturday then off to the servo after that.
Ive also started dieting now that we have some money again, you find when you have no money you just buy really crappy food thats cheap for example $3 chips from the shops fills Sam and i both up, so we may get that a few times.
Now im going to start watching what i eat in preperation for the Samoa World cup in Novemeber. I know its in like 11 weeks or so until the comp but i feel if i dont start now ill be fighting -73kg at next ACT open, taking on the big fellas.
Thats it from my really just busy with studying for school and training as usual and trying to spend as much time with my wife Sam as possible. She is busy doing study as well. Sam is studying Human Nutrition at uni which is a really hard degree but she is doing really with the amount of Chemistry she has to do.
I sometimes have a squiz at her textbooks and its almost like shes doing equations that the rain man couldnt do.
Have an awesome day everyone
Matt
