Places to go and People to Meet

The two things I really enjoy working on are Grappling and Weapons.
These are the two areas I have been neglecting the most...very rusty.
So I asked myself why? If I enjoy them so much, why do they always sit on the back burner.
Comes down to a matter of convenience. Its sometimes hard to arrange extra training with someone else. Arranging schedules can be difficult. So the grappling is reviewed but not applied on a regular basis.
The weapons are all about finding the right place to train where I don't take out the ceiling lights or dent the hard wood flooring. Again, it is not something that can be conveniently done so it sits on the back burner.
This winter I want to change this habit and look at different resources.
Using the Kwoon more (a place to go) and finding some willing partners to grapple with(people to meet).
Commitment and a promise to myself will get me there.

The TLC is great place for weapons, the soccer field has no ceiling that I can reach and the floor is very forgiving. As for grappling, any time you a partner on a Saturday, I'm in.
