Tae Kown Do – My New Sport!

The day began at 5:30 am with Hip Hop Abs with Shawn T.  Can't believe it, I am now a Yellow Belt.  Six months ago and no one could have told me that I would be a student of martial arts.  Thus Shawn T at 5:30, must get stronger and in better shape.  Let's go Shawn T.  Later in the morning, appointment with Chiropractor, tune up for tonight.

Almost time for class, so sore I can harly move, better soak my feet.  All dressed, yellow belt, looking good!

Class time warmup, what's this, calling out random patterns.  Breathe, listen, you know it.  Oh crap, what am I doing facing her, should be facing the other direction.  Keep going, can only go up from here.

Where's a camera when you need it.  Next comes the drills, running and dropping into push-ups.  Good, finished that and still breathing.  Now running and dropping into crunches.  One minute I'm blazing down the mat, not sure what happened, then I'm on my face, glasses flying through the air.  Are you okay?  Yes and I jump up pumping back down the floor and then again, flat on my face.  Adrenal pumping, up I jump and until class ends, I'm jumping, kicking and punching.

Finally at home, can't move, run a bath and hope the hot water allows me to walk upright again.  All in an awesome night of my new found sport, Tae Kown Do.  So much for worrying about making a fool of yourself, haven't had such a good laugh in a while reliving my show of strength.  All in a night of getting fit and enjoying my new found sport.
