Ki-AI!

So I started attending High Sierra Jujitsu on Tuesday. It's suuuuper fun. After just two classes I already know about 6 different ways to shatter a wrist/elbow. During my first class I was already doing throws and falls. Everybody's hella nice and helpful which makes learning all the easier and more fun.

I spent like 15 minutes solid doing really bad forward rolls and back falls. That's gonna' be the part what pisses me off about the art: Falling voluntarily, especially falling voluntarily and doing it correctly is just not natural. Plus its really hard not to fart when you're being hurled through the air and slammed on your back. Its just a matter of time, really....

I'm really glad nobody knows I have a year and a half in antoher discipline, because I have become quite uncoordinated during my several years of severe inactivity. To make matters (and my shame) worse, I came from a striking art and I'll be damned if I can shoot a measely four punches in sequence during the warm-up. It's all good, though, I went back to martial arts to develop all that shit again. I just don't like starting from scratch.

Very soon I'm going to have to get some of those ninja pajamas so I can fit in with the other kids. That's when I'm going to start really whipping Lynell's ass at home. There's no stopping me once I don the Power Jammies.

On the subject of child rearing, I think Nietchze said, "Whatever doesn't kill 'em will maim them for life."
