Great training last night.  Nice to see Vinod back on the mats and to see the improvements Dirza has made through his Jishu.  Gambatte!  Am really impressed with levels of developing skill and determination.

We've been going through a lot of conditioning of the legs of late. Interestingly, people have been commenting on their realisations on just how important stamina, speed and conditioning are when it comes to the realistic application of technique.

Like Mario once said, "The more conditioned opponent will win in the end."  A lot of truth to that statement, despite all other factors involved.
