day 13 & 14: Roda Rust

Saturday
very happy to have made it for the show to help Malcolm out
lots of young blood
could this be the next generation?
core group of LinguaDeBoi, Perereka, Cabecao, Lynn, Malcolm, Jeanette 
managed to play a game or two
semaos are a bit rusty
but at least pulling them off in the roda
only managed a few short games
definitely still itching for more
personal roda rating - 5/10
Roda Axe rating - 6.5/10

Sunday
was a sleepy lacklustre and lazily hot day
arrived at 7pm to only 2 people
twas a small group
i guess i'm just adjusting from the anniversary roda in the academy
energia was definitely something we needed work on
so was the singing
there was some faux pas in the swapping of instruments
need to be mindful of that
my personal roda radar - the awareness of where and who and what, was a bit off today
had a few decent games clocked in
need to learn to play better with the juniors
meaning - play WITH them
ah, but so many moves with no chances to pull off
definitely was a little too aggressive on some of them
they need some hard lovin'
flippety flop was a total flop, couldn't get enough snap to rotate myself into a decent qaeda de rin
need to clock in more park sessions to perfect the floreies
timed a perfect rasteida de frente
which was good for practice

my jogo ground movements are still intact
mixing a lil' more kicks into the game
but need to move around the person more

also need to work on my conditioning
i blame the weather, sleep deprivation, work and flu
but above all
roda rust is definitely showing
time to clock in the hours

personal roda rating - 5/10
roda axe rating - 4.5/10
