Still alive!
Well… I did try to get choked out today. Yeah, it’s exactly what it sounds like. Someone chokes you until you faint. Relax mom, I was sitting on the ground and it was only for a couple of seconds, then I was up and about again.
Since we learn (and soon we’re going to teach) self defense, it’s good to know why. For example, why should you defend yourself against someone trying to choke you? ‘Cause it’ll bloody kill you gosh dang it! It takes approx 4-5 seconds before you’re out, and in that time you need to be able to make a defense.
After lunch we had the first two warm ups, by Vegard and Jannik. They’ve both went through the kids instructor course and you could tell they’re used to teach. And two warm ups right after one another sure got me sweaty enough!
We left the punches in the afternoon, and moved on to chokes (hence the choking above), working on timeline and verbal commands. There was a lot of shouting.
Get the hell away!
Come here you m*%&”#f@!(/r!
What the fuck are you looking at?!
I know where your mailbox lives, you stupid fish!
I’m gonna punch you so hard your momma ain’t gonna recognize your sorry arse, you donkey kong!
Okey, I might have taken some liberty with the phrases, but you get the gist.
In the end we did some stretching – in a couple of months we need to be able to do proper roundhouse kicks to the head, so for some (read: me) it’s time to start with a regular stretching routine.
I’m getting a bit sore in my shoulders and upper arms, and a little bit in my back as well. But it’s not too bad at the time. It’ll probably be worse tomorrow. It was nice to hear Rune saying that he’d been going easy on us for the first two days, and that we still have the hardest parts left… And okey, it hasn’t been that intense so far, but still, you’re active for so many hours – and there’s so much info to take in. The mental part takes it toll too. I’m gonna take a ”bath” in heat lotion tonight, and use Linnex as water before training tomorrow.
Nighty night, sleep tight and wake up for a fight!
