MA #18 - Advil in my future
Nov. 7th, 2006 01:29 amTwo recurring thoughts from tonight's class:
1) Tomorrow is going to suck, given that I managed to land on my head at the beginning of class and my quads were already sore by the end of class.
2) What is it about quasi-Asian arts that makes them so poncy? After all, We don’t have to claim dinosaurs in our family tree if we are actually descended from perfectly respectable geckoes, and all that.
At least I found out why my shoulders/back were sore last week - slapping the mat. We spent a third of class doing kempo, so less real falls, but I found that it only took one or two to get me to remember how all this stuff works. And I enjoyed sparring with the new student - he seems to have chilled out.
Edit: I need a good tagline for this icon, but somehow Beckinsale's fake British accent doesn't translate to the page very well.
Edit2: Before I forget... apparently it's the defenses against a sworded opponent that are asymmetrical. And I still need to work on keeping my head down.
