I fell asleep in the afternoon.

Tracing my chemistry pencil solutions using a ball point pen for submission online.

I almost sent my periodic 2 seatwork in chemistry but while I was rewriting the problem and solution using a ball point pen, I realized my solution is wrong.

Solving it again.

back muscles too, the upper and lower.

unable to get up with my abs muscle aching including my hamstrings, quads, shoulder, biceps, and triceps.

Will study redox reactions and electrochemistry again as continuation later.

Postponing my 21km run and going to rest today. I went beast mode at the gym and I am tired.

Trying to get my head around balancing redox reactions using half reactions.

This time it's not only the typical balancing of chemical equations but also of the charges.

Gym workout break and chem studies.

Electrochemistry.

REDOX reactions.

Chemistry Saturday evening.

Nothing's slow anymore after embarking on the BSEE program 😅

General educ acad work.

Back at home and got what I needed.

Work mode.

One puzzle which I and the master has not solved though is on the Japanese system.

The Japanese system has no kata or forms but what is surprising is that the movements and execution fits the postures on an ancient chinese martial arts form or kata that I know of. The ancient chinese system is believed to be 400 years to 1000 years depending on the historical accounts.

So basically, the martial art system from my master is a combination of Japanese and Filipino in origin.

The empty hands then is predominantly Japanese while the weapons is predominalty Filipino.

Chicken Inasal.

Hence, although the master was a former LEO, he never embraced Pekiti Tersia.

His teacher on the second system was a former bouncer in clubs and then became a bodyguard for prominent VIPs. Now he just lives a simple life.

The system that my master learned from a Japanese master has no name but later the Filipino community probably expounded it and added Judo in the name and kept the original as the elite system and only taught to a few while the watered down version was the one generally taught to the public.

The second one originated from different indigenous Filipino Martial Arts including Cinko Teros and Balintawak and was fused together and the name is a giveaway for a quick close quarter battle.

The latter was the system taught to me last Sunday but the former was the system taught to me since March.
