holy smokes, been busy with work and the world kept on moving, wot a surprise.
on the choke, my voice is better now, thanks rene for caring :\
Tom, you were very restrained and very gentlemanly, would fight and train with you any time and be pretty darn confident in your skills and your control. it was a good great choke and the only reason i could hold so long was because of the care you took to apply. someone with less experience and respect could have done it sooner and messed me up too.
Tom, if there was any wrongdoing it was me, you were very careful, very cautious and very respectful, i have absolutely NO HARD FEELINGS, none at all.
To be honest with you, after watching you in action, i can truly see the walk as a warrior all you days philosophy now. I have been worrying about getting older, you have a couple of years on me. seeing you go at it boss has made me rethink a lot of what i figured was possible. i feel a little more hopeful about my "physical" future now. thanks for that.
To be truly honest, the worst injury i received that sunday was from my last fight when someone from the audience chucked the knife across the floor to al who two handed it at the bottom of my upper rib cage. i was told it was from someone who wasn't fighting, a friend or something.
i know, i know, prepare to defend yourself at all times.
i wonder if we may see a day when audience participation costs someone dearly. maybe not. i hope not.
anyway i probably should have gone to the doctor but worst case scenario it was some cracked ribs.
i would agree with dean, i think peeps should maybe hit the medic on their way out, not my call though.
i would also agree with the three distinct phases of the choke, i can see all three of them still, good eye jeff.
i wake up screaming in the night, my wife keeps asking who is tom, she thinks i am having an affair. kidding. seriously.
anyway, i am spending too much time on the confuser now, trying to keep my priorities in order.
If any of you make it up here before the blizzards, the wild moose and the savage beavers make it impoosible to travel during winter, would love to train with you guys and go get some eats.
