AK

The day didn't start out so great.... early morning drive to drop off the VW for what would eventually be a $769 servicing.... I haven't been sleeping well because of all the nervousness of the oncoming change in life (and it's still more than a week away!).

When I got to the school, I was saying... "Alright, got my rig, got my.... got my... oh shit, I forgot my uniform". Fortunately, I live like a 5 minute drive away from the academy, but it still turned me from being calm and all zen 15 minutes early to being 3 minutes late and rushing to get dressed and set.

I got smacked in the hand with aluminum trainers, actionflex sticks..... got killed on a mass-attack exercise when I tired and got indecisive on the next move.... ugh. But still, a lot of good things came out of the training tonight. The tactics and the training method are top notch. On thinking back to what transpired tonight, I realized that a lot of talk about what a trainer/feeder does in Atienza Kali, I do with my own flute students. It was an interesting self-revelation.

The next meeting for my AK group is the 29th... By then I'm almost guaranteed to be late, but I'll try to prepare myself better beforehand for it all.
