tennis tournament tomorrow! word! playing someone who beat my dad a few times.. he's also the #1 seed in the tournament (out of 4 people hah).. he's the only one that's ranked because of previous tournament play or something. glad to be facing him in the first match though, will be fresh.

"revenge for my father" <- jajaja... or I get wrecked.

LBSS recommended and approved.. well maybe not this exact version, but lotto quaranta's in general.


Love these: price + very light + foam is extremely comfortable/bouncy. I move around great in them.

I do have some issues with them:
- they seem to wear down very fast when playing tennis on hard court: foam sole is grinding down very quick, little holes starting to appear. I've probably played with them ~15 times and they are definitely wearing down quick.
- the insoles they come with are HORRIBLE. I would have ripped them out but they ripped out the first time I wore them.
- since the insoles suck (thick cushion feeling), I have to put my own insoles in them, because the sole is this raw mesh that'll wreck your feet. I just wish they had a normal fabric sole so I could wear them without an insole.

I like these alot better than my Lotto Quaranta IV's.

Grand final ball game last night. We lost by 6. It was a really tight game and there was only a point or two separating us all game until they got a run on with about 10 mins to go to put it out to a 10 point lead. We pegged them back but just couldn't close the gap. Pretty frustrating game though. They banked 2 threes in the first 5 mins and had quite a few lucky shots drop. The kind that just shouldn't go in. Either way we had our chances too.

I told the team I'm not in for the next season so I can concentrate on lifting and then get back to hapkido over the next couple of months. Pretty excited about that. I think I will still fill in every now and then just to keep the desire to make a full blown return at bay. I get the bug if I don't play for too long and I think playing every 3-4 weeks will remind me of the good and bad about it.

makes sense, good idea.

how long have you trained hapkido in the past?




those vivobarefoot shoes look nice. love minimalist shoes.

Thats whats up, gotta be nice living in florida so you can do that stuff pretty much year round

ya definitely, the only thing that we have to worry about is rain. Comes and goes out of nowhere, all year round. Basketball/Tennis courts dry fast though so, that's cool.

btw they do "unracking" in that vid at ~6min.. obviously have to be very careful with it, but it's definitely a potential tool to get used to really heavy weight.
