Ate like a person who went to two parties for Easter.  Enjoyed it thoroughly.

Dojo Training

Kihon combinations

Kihon kumite drills

Solid class. Had major wind from CrossFit and was able to go full tilt all the way through class.

Had an altercation in class with somebody whose ego got in the way. Shrugged off two punches to the face and did not reciprocate. Glad I didn't redline, because I definitely would have regretted my actions.

All-out for 25 minutes

Hearts = Pull-Ups
Diamonds = Wall Balls
Spades = V-Ups
Clubs = Burpee Deadlifts
Joker = 500 m row

Andy at CrossFit Hollywood would draw a card and I'd do the number of whatever suit came up.

Good one. Hit three clubs in a row at the end (9, Q, J). That was a bear.

"Nasty Girls"
3 rounds for time of:
50 squats
7 muscle-ups (I substituted 21 pullups + 21 ring dips)
10 95# hang power cleans

13:14

Wow that was tough. But I'm cranking out more and more pullups and ring dips each time I go back to that exercise at CrossFit!

The hang power cleans and everything I do with a bar is a real challenge for me...having had two separated shoulder can't help much. Especially with things like thrusters, I can't even rest the bar across my chest or stick my elbows forward, because they simply won't go there.
