Kicked my Ass

So today at Krav Maga I learned some pretty cool things. Unfortunately I also got the shit beat out of me. Check out one of many NASTY bruises...



and the mother of all bruises...


this one hurts so bad i had to ice it for an hour today. I also have multiple bruises on my thighs, calves, knees and my ass. I am literally getting my ass kicked. BUT I learned some awesome things and it was totally worth it. This is my 3rd class in the 6 week course. Today we learned how to defend ourselves if someone is on top of us. I had to fight my way out from under a 250 pound 6 foot 4 guy today. At one point 6 people got in line each with their own turn to try to fight me. They choked me and hit me and held my arms. I had to get them off of me and flip them over and then hurt them to get up and run away. It was pretty cool that I was able to do it. Out of all of the techniques i felt like this one was the most fun and I was good at it. I also wished I knew this in college to teach my residents and friends - we all would have felt safer im sure. Either way - i can fight them off. Pretty cool right? Bruises will fade but the confidence that I'm getting in this class will hopefully stay with me forever. Good thing its not short sleeve weather anymore huh? hahahaha
