Day One
Yoga
Last night was my first night back to Jujutsu. The 10 sun salutations I did this morning were fantastic and I really needed them to recover. I think the past three weeks of lifting weights has been a much better experience because I have also been doing yoga each day.
Lifting
I did triceps and chest today. It was a very solid workout, but I had used much energy last night and I found I back-slid in bench press just slightly today and had to work hard to maintain in the rest of the workout.
Jujutsu
Last night was my first practice in 10 years or so. I had looked over my notebook a bit this past week. I was able to remember almost everything to do the list of 20 Yawara. The 25 or so Goshin list was a bit less solid, but I remembered maybe 85%. I also managed to work in about 17 or 18 of the 20 throws from the Nage list and they felt solid. The workout was tremendous and the last half hour of ground work really did me in. This first class confirmed my decision to come back and I feel as though it won't take long to get back to the level I was when I left.
