Back in the fray....

[msbabs32]

After years of having to give up martial arts for school and work I went back to one of my old schools last night.  I remembered the sequence of warm ups from when I last attended and then was reminded that I was also more fit back then.  Then I figured I would be grouped with the beginners and do basics all class - a good, hard, simple workout.  Er, notsamuch.  Got put in the more advanced grouped and we went through a form they were all supposed to be learning.  Three break down moves in a set with two review runs and on to the next set.  We went through almost the entire form that night!  Some of the students were just going at it but I was like whoa!  I need time to absorb the pattern and relate the moves.  While my head swirled with combos and footwork the rest of me got a good workout.  And I realized that I was happy; that I really missed it and needed to continue doing MA.  And today I'm not quite as sore as I expected to be.  Right now I'm excited about going to class again...and we'll see how I am afterwards. :)
