MMA and me; day 4

Well, I learned a few things yesterday. 1) I need to get some shin guards, because learning how to check leg kicks without them sucks. 2) When you've never thrown a kick other than while playing soccer (which if you know me, hasn't happened in an actual game since 1995) your attempts at the KICK part of kickboxing look positively atrocious. 3) Ankle locks hurt, a lot.

I woke up this morning with bruises on my shin and foot, sore abs, and the realization that fighters with strong leg kicks are scary dudes indeed. The funny thing, is that I'm not discouraged in the slightest. I'm going back at noon, for two hours, and then going back tonight for another two.

I may be nuts, but I'm going to get my body back into shape, starting with my mind.
