Hope you enjoyed it.......

Well thanks to our quick thinking host IronMung. (and his brother) the day was salvaged and we had a place to beat each other in private peacefully. Unfortunately the other place did not have mats so we couldn't do too many takedowns and throws.

Present were:
BronzeArcher
iamamonster
Angry-Monkey (+1 friend)
Dark Warrior (no posts :) )
Repulsive Monkey (+1 friend)
DokterVet (thanks for pictures and showing up to cheer even though you are injured +1 family member)
KayDeePee
King Hippo
a dude we call Hoost but don't think he is registered here...yet
Beginner
IronMung. (+1 brother)
Chushin Ryuko
The W

Wow, a lot of people brought their brothers in. Who have I missed here? Oh yeah, myself...
Got one more...16 and I think that is it.

I did only some sparring with The W and some drilling groundwork on the tiled floor with IronMung (did you gain weight man?) I was kinda just standing around disappointed and thinking about using the pool for a swim instead in the beginning. Also some minor guard pass stuff with other people.

Fortunately The W was kind enough to indulge me with a stand up sparring match.
I know he was a bit tired from sparring with KayDeePee earlier but according to some witnesses we went for 'ten minutes' I'll have to see the vid for that.

Random Thoughts:
-My leg placement for RH kicks was mostly WRONG, I knew that, didn't think it mattered since we weren't going super hard.
-I like to block with my face.
-The W had good defense with his hands, frustrated me a bit. Would people please stop blocking the axe kick?
-Saw him backing our of the spinning back kick already but threw it anyways.
-I think I have some leg kick defense now.
-I ducked into a rising roundhouse kick that landed square in my chest.
-I got a shin on the cup but fortunately it didn't hurt much.

Drilling with IronMung.
No idea how to do the triangle from side mounted position, that'll get thrown out. :)
I have to keep moving my hips, and I'm glad we could work on that.

I have a bunch of pics from DokterVet, and I made him aware of a method to send clips to me as well.
There is a funny one where Angry-Monkey seems to be picking his nose. :D

I look to be hosting the pics by at least tomorrow night.

If anyone objects to their picture being posted PM me.

that was awsome...

due to the lack of cardio...i only sparred two people...it would have been nice to spar with the other styles...

the two i sparred againist were...KayDeePee and PizDoff

with KayDeePee i usually train with him..so it was like any sparring session we usually have...but with PizDoff it was different...i don't remember what your style was but it threw me off a bit...i was not able to get a clean block...haha...and 10 mins?!?!...i didn't think i would last that long...overall the sparring session was really good

as for the others...i am looking forward to sparring with you guys at the next Toronto Throwdown!!!....cardio pending...lol

also by the next one..i will be ready to do stand up and ground...i don't do any ground work...but i plan to...

can't wait until the next throwdown...!
