Nothing too awesome to report. I recently changed my sparring partners group - and now I'm playing with mostly BJJ and Judo guys. We only trained for 2 hours yesterday, though even in this short period of time, I can assure you that even 24 hours later, my body still feels like it has been crushed in a vice. Randori is a good thing. I stumbled across this internet community of martial artists called bullshido.net, and I've learned alot about martial arts (what works, and what does NOT work) from the excellent varied and balanced appraoch there. There are fanboys from all schools of thought, and each art also has some good representation. The focus of the community is to root out and stomp the prevalent fraud in today's martial arts. There are just too many instructors out there that are all about the money, and know very little about effective fighting techniques and concepts.
