I felt like I was on a bit of a roll (pun intended) coming into class last night. My training has been going really well lately and I've been feeling good over the last week or so. After last night, not so much. I "learned" shoulder rolls and break falls last night. I'm pretty sure I did a lot of somersaults as a kid but it's like I completely forgot how. Plus, my 38 year old body is so stiff and inflexible that rolling around hurts. Lol. Not only that, but I have an old shoulder injury from falling on the ice that apparently hasn't healed. What this means is that I have a LOT of practice to do.
I'm pretty sure that I'm going to join the I Ho Chuan team, assuming that there is a spot for me. Two Sifus suggested it to me and, where I come from, if two sifus tell you to do something, you do it. I'm pretty sure that it will be the most challenging thing I've ever done voluntarily, but I'm excited at the prospect of pushing myself to great things. Plus, if I can get a year or two of the I Ho Chuan under my belt before I get to black belt level, I'm guessing I'll be in a pretty good place. I'm not going to say that I'm not also intimidated a bit because I am, but it's a good intimidated, I think.
