I think I have come to the root of the problem and believe it is in technique. A bit of a flaw in the delivery of a few of my punches that I throw with a lot of force, and end up flat-footed when doing so and the over-extending is causing the repeated muscle pulls, strains, tears, w/e is going on. I just can't seem to stop hurting myself and even if I found the reason, there is not enough time to correct it completely and heal up to be at anything close to 100%. I think if I am 70% that will be good, considering it has affected my cardio training as well as ability to spar prolonged periods.

Am still confident I can win. Will have 2 fights max, 4 of us in my division so basically a semi-final then final for Canadian championship. We'll see.

I expect nothing less than a brilliant performance Josh, I will not root for an english one for no valid reasons:mad:

Oh don't worry bro, my performance will be nothing short of 100% effort and I truly do feel this championship has my name on it. I'm just using this as my vent space, and last night was shit training for an ending and frustrating. That'll change when the adrenaline of comp starts flowing. From here on in it is all rest and healing.

2 weeks ago I was sparring a wide range of opponents with lots of experience and ripping thru all of them, from a pro stand up fighting MMA dude at 230 lbs to an 24 yr old ontario elite gold medalist same weight, and others. I just need to rest to get back to that place is all, and that's what I'm doing now. ;)

Best of luck. I continued to scourge for the info you asked me but there is not much around, either discretion has been assured or they aren't worth of a major worry.

ya bro I know and appreciate it. not much info at all. I do think my strongest competitor is one of the Quebec dudes. we suspected they would set the fights up so that we meet in the final, either putting me in the semis against the weaker QC person or the MB dude so we meet for a good final, but we just found out it is going to be done on random draws. I honestly don't care tho. Is everyone else around me that is getting worked into a lather over the details, my coach, my dad etc. meh I gonna block them all out shortly here.

Real tired as just got off plane after celebrating canadian style, ala beers and cigars all nights finishing with a pillow fight with a stripper. :p

The finals match was a lot easier then I expected. Felt I coulda Ko'd the guy at any time, and especially if my back wasn't tweaking so much. But final score was 10-0 and I never got hit once really. But yea, it hasn't really sunk in but guess Im the Canadian National Champ now, eh. :)

Nice vids. Thus said, I really doubt these pictures all got deleted, I would be more encline to believe that they exist in only one or two copies nicely hidden on a hard drive somewhere but I couldn't hold it against you to fear Digital Land where things spread fast and never leave. ;)
