WC at home with TP
Lok sau, then attack series, then chi sau, then sparring. Went pretty full on. Observation - it does get a lot sloppier when intensity level rises. Try not to stand up/let level of hands rise.

BJJ No GI
Covered kimura, arm triangle and sweep (scissor but with hook) from closed guard.
General election. Labour in for historic 3rd time but reduced majority (apathy or Tony Blair lack of trust - probably mixture). Glad to see George Galloway (expelled from labour party for opposing Iraq war (very democratic) and victim of torygraph smear campaign (because conrad black was on the up and up)) won seat in Bethnal Green, beating 10,000 labour majority.
Still global agenda probably remains the same.

Got given DVD of joseph Lee seminar. Always interested to see other approaches to wing chun. Observation: WSLVT is less 'technique/move based' than what he demonstrated.
