It's time to work friends! I have decided to step up the training now in preparation for the upcoming tournaments. I currently train about 10 hours per week and am aiming to get up to 15 hours. That means some big changes. I've also started the re-eating. I'm stocking up on food and really looking to get back up to 160lbs. I was kind of shocked when I weighed myself at under 150lbs the other day. I usually relate not eating to not having much cash but I invested as much as I could and now and stocked up. Strength and Conditioning is also back on my radar. I only imagine I will go 2 times a week. Once for conditioning (rowing, and lifting lighter weights) - once for strength (dead lifts etc). Currently I am at 12 minutes for a 3000m row and I want to get this down to 9 minutes for March. Lastly I am reading and re-introducing myself to 'Taoism'. I began this many years ago but was much too young and underdeveloped to understand what I was looking into. But at this stage of my life, and with Jiu Jitsu helping me, I feel ready to explore this Chinese Philosophy as I am finding many of the beliefs, principles and teachings are actually closely related to my own spirituality. It's called 'Self Cultivation' and deals alot with 'energy'. I will delve into this deeper when I am ready to write about it but Professor Britto encouraged me to 'look' at my spirituality last year as a benefit to my studying. I'm intrigued by the parallel teachings of Jiu Jitsu and Tao, The Integral way. It's all about timing. "In every movement the entire body should be light and agile and all of its parts connected like a string of pearls."
