Great Fun!

I had a great night! Its the most alive I have felt in a very long time. We started off at 5:45pm with 45mins of Cardio-Taijutsu, then moved to 45 of Jutaijutsu Technique and finished with 45 of sparring with 15min rest between classes. I only know a few moves at this point and dont have enough experience to apply those moves at every opportunity. One called the Key-lock is not so hard to look for so I stuck with that, mostly. Even if I tried I couldnt keep up with how many times I got choked, smashed and folded last night. It was intense! Oh I made em work for it. You can believe that. I may not be skilled in technique YET but I know how to keep someone busy and I would bet a couple of them were just as sore and bruised as I was this morning.
What did I do when I got up today? Stretched, ate a PB&J with a glass of milk and pint of water with 6oomg Ibuprofen. Took a shower and headed back to the dojo.
Started at 10am with 45 of kick boxing, sparring included. I got my butt handed to me by a woman. I dont know about my punching power making the difference in a real fight with her but as far as speed and skill, she owned me. She was in my face so bad I found myself looking away. Thats bad bad, so when the instructor, Mr. Mazzi (not sure about spelling) saw me doing that he made a point to pound me pretty good every time I didnt keep my head down and eyes on target when it was his turn to spar with me. He is a great teacher, they all are. It is very important to them that I learn these skills properly. I love that.
Then a 15 rest and 45 of grappling. I cant really explain what its like to wrestle with Mr. Mazzi or Mr. Merritt. You know how you grab something with your hand, they can do that with their whole body. I practiced some transition techniques but toward the end of the class my calf started cramping so I decided to skip the next 45 of Cardio and come on home. I may take tomorrow off...
Right now I'm going to stretch and get the dishes washed before the kids roll in.
