Still aching from Tuesday....

Boy, that must have been some lesson Tuesday night. My legs are STILL aching from it today (Friday).

Taekwondo on a Tuesday

Finally made it along to the Tuesday session in Croydon held by Master Mark Drury (4th Dan). Exhausting, but certainly a great lesson. I'm definately going to try and make the Tuesday session more often as it's very different to the lessons I normally go to in Mitcham. I'm not, however, drawing comparisons as to which sessions are better - too much respect for my instructors to want to start doing that! It does seem to me though that training with different instructors regularly can't be bad for your overall Taekwondo development as there is different emphasis on the various aspects to the training.
Not busy next Tuesday and live in or around the Croydon area? Grab a pair of tracksuit bottoms and a t-shirt (plain) and just turn up - starts 8pm, runs for an hour and a half. Always good to see new people. The address is:

Energie Fitness Club
Stephenson House
2 Cherry Orchard Road
East Croydon
Surrey

Tip: 1 minutes' walk from East Crydon train station. The class is for 14 year olds and up.

Er, argh!

Somethings wrong - none of my old posts are coming up (must have done something stupid....). The pages are there at my hosting account. I can download them and right enough the blog entries are there but browsing directly to them with a web browser displays the correct URL, but presto I'm actually viewing the main blog page with the most recent post at the top.

I'm foxed. Wondering whether posting a new entry will force it to behave itself....

Hmph. No idea how, but rather than publishing to the correct directory via FTP, I was publishing to the blog.html file itself and Blogger had helpfully created a directory and was happily publishing into it. I'm pretty darn sure I didn't do that when I set it up.....

Tournament

My club held a small tournament yesterday and invited the students from St Katherine's Taekwondo led by Master Sargent to attend. Unfortunately, while St Katherines did bring a large compliment of juniors, they didn't submit any adult fighters so all the Chung Yong adults had to fight members of their own club. I got Michael (he's recently moved up to 8th Kup) and he beat me 12-11 on points. Despite the obvious drawback of not winning, I really enjoyed the match and learned a few things about what I can do to improve on my tournament fighting.

The St Katherines fighters were impressive to see - they have some very talented fighters there and I'm glad the two clubs are affiliated to each other.
