CCA

Right. CCAs. Everyone likes them, right?

Wrong.

Okay, mine is fine. But I'm certain certain people like nigel from 1i1 hate it. Here's a brief description of what happens every training which is on Monday, Wed and Fri. The official time is 3-6, but sometimes (like just this friday) it becomes more like 2-7.

Anyway. First is warm ups (duh!!) and then either uchikome to nagekome or just uchikome. See the glossary bellow. Then we have randori and then sometimes a peptalk by our coach. Then there's newaza and PT (physical training), which is so horrible I don't even want to try and describe it.

That was the official version. And now for the unofffical (and TOTALLY SADISTIC) version. The coordinator will sometimes pump us for stuff like failing to sweep the floor clean enough (but at least we tried rite???) . After a horrible PT he will unfailingly talk to us about some stuff such as the recent thefts. Then he might pump us, then we're all clear and many of us will head on down to the poolside cafe which totally ROCKS. I'll talk about the poolside cafe in another post.

Glossary:
Uchikome: Just the practiced throw, you don'y actually throw the guy.
Nagekome: You actually throw the guy. If you're nice, you just mime the throw and he falls on his own. If you're not, you flip him with all your force and he goes smack onto the floor.
Uchikome to Nagekome: Uchikome a couple of times, then nagekome on the last throw.
randori: Sparring.
Newaza: Sparring, but on the floor, fighting with holdings. Looks very sick. I will not elaborate.
