Also since I was super heavy into weight training that I began to skip post training stretching and started to stiffen up. That is not good for judo, jujitsu and striking in general. I need to balance out my flexibility with my strength training.</p> <p>I've been skipping stretching after weight training, because I was tired and hungry. I was very concerned about eating food, getting more protein and experimenting with BCAAs.</p> <p>Is it a lame excuse to skip flexibility? Yes!</p> <p>So this week, I'm going to increase my cardio and take my stretching/flexibility more seriously.</p> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Soldier Complex<br /> "...Spread your Awesomeness[!]..."

I've been staying up until 1 - 2 am in the morning and waking up at 6:30am.<br /> <br /> So my workouts have been suffering in both quality and intensity. This has been very frustrating, especially since the first aspect of my work out regime that started to fail was the motivation to wake up early to run. Sleeping 4 - 5 hours a day is not a good recipe for success in any endeavor, it is a recipe for <b>FAILURE!</b><br /> <br /> <h2> How did you fix this?</h2> I've finally got some <b>SLEEP!</b>&nbsp;The night before I made sure to eat well, wash dishes, brush my teeth and go to bed early! 9:45pm!<br /> <br /> <h2> The result?</h2> I woke up at the butt crack of dawn and contemplated my existence.<br /> I felt well rested and energetic.

She has traveled the world learning from famous and legendary such as <a alt="First Female 10th Dan in Judo" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keiko_Fukuda">Keiko Fukuda</a> and many Olympic Judo champions. Her passion for Judo has lead to 27 years at the Philadelphia Judo Club.<br /> <div align="center"> <iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="480" width="853" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/I0GpaMM7suE"></iframe> </div> <br /> I am deeply regretful that I could not have spent enough time under her instruction. Each and every interaction with her has elevated my depth and understanding of Judo. Almas technical knowledge and since of humor is legendary.<br /> <br /> I make it a point to always bring my best technique when I am under the watchful eye of Alma. She expects the best from us and it is well understood.<br /> <br /> Congratulations on your new life, career and relationship!<br /> <br /> Thank you Master Alma!<br /> <br /> <br /> Soldier Complex<br /> "...Spread your Awesomeness[!]..."
