I seriously need to get back into shape for Judo. I practiced with the club last night. I did falling practice which I don't normally do every time I go to the dojo. and on top of that I fought two heavy weights in two randori matches. Every muscle in my body right now aches which only shows that I am really, really out of shape. I am thankful nevertheless cause I got to practice again after almost two months since I got kicked in the knee. I also realized that I am not that strong anymore every time I would go up head to head against the big boys. It seems to me that I need to strengthen my pushing and pulling power again by pumping more iron.
I have a lot of work to do to get back into Judo shape but it is something that I want to do more than a necessity. I really don't compete anymore but I do want to start doing it again cause I miss competing. It's to bad that it's almost the holiday season because I my practice sessions will be cut short cause of the 3 week vacation but I will make most of that time to develop more muscle power and my stamina and be ready for the next time I hit the tatamis next year.
