Am sorry to hear your gym problems Sharla. I hope it doesn't keep you from doing something you enjoy. I can empathize some in the lack of sparring that I experienced with my first club. It really was no fun, but your situation sounds even worse in that they would have you fight in an unprepared manner. Plus why be in an environment you do not feel good about.

You sound like you'll still be more then busy. I wouldn't believe them with the "you'll be called a traitor if you go elsewhere" blah blah huff huff. If you still have the desire and other clubs are out there, I'd go for it. But judo and running seem to also be a passion for you. Not sure how you find the time for it all with school as well.

Good luck in whatever you do and hope you'll still add to the training section. I enjoy reading your posts. And I'll still read your training log.
