first jits class!!

i thought it would take several sessions before i felt this way but i'm totally hooked. it was SO much fun and SUCH a great workout. i still feel like im going to puke and i have purple bruises on my body. Omar is our instructor and he's fantastic. He's one of those real deal Gracie trained guys. He's very technical and an excellent teacher. He was able to give us some basics so we could start rolling around and having fun. Then Nathan schooled us some as well. I'm really looking forward to doing this on a regular basis. I could only describe as "like holding on to a bull in the rodeo. When you don't know what you're doing, you're basically just trying to not get choked for as long as you can. I'm sure we'll learn to play smarter once we have an arsenal of moves. For now, its just trying to stay alive on the mat. Good stuff. I guess i found my new sport!!!
