HOOOAHHHH!!!!!

Dear Mr. Body Combat Instructor, 

I accept my defeat.  I will come back later to work on this blog, for I am about to die from your class today.  Too many kicks and jabs.   I am now going to collapse.  later..... (to be continued....stay tuned folks...)

ok, I'm back. 2 hours later.  Had to take a looooong nap to recover from that murderous class. Really tough today, or I'm just really weak!

So a quick synopsis of the mayhem..  I walk into class, and there's Mr. Combat, strolling around the room, greeting newbies and sporting the usual pirates' scarf, Everlast gloves and a huge honkin' super-grande cup of Starbucks something!  MMMmmm, so that's where he gets all that energy!  Guess I"ll need to try that next time.
He gives some first-time advice to a couple nervous-looking newbies.
"You'll love it.  It's the modern cure for road rage."

He's giving advice on the proper height of snap kicks.

"Kick only as high as you can control it.  If you kick me in the gut, that would suck.  Kick me in the front of the knee so my knee goes backward, it shatters. That would suck even more."

Good advice. I'll remember that.

"Ok, you Mad Cary Moms, let's go!!!!"  yes, we are mostly a group of mad moms in here, except for this dude next to me who chose to wear the very same shade of lime green that I did, the copycat.  NO, we did not plan this!!  He's got his upper cuts all wrong, too, keeps doing hooks instead, get a life.

anyway, so the usual, hooks, jabs, uppercuts, roundhouse kicks, snap kicks, pirate sword thrusts, and then this new move I'll call the "lawn mower" move, for lack of memory as to its real term.  Mr. Rob is explaining:

"Hold your opponent's head down by your knee, turn his face up, then BAM!  BAM! BAM!  Just like starting a power cord lawn mower, only bloodier!!!!"

oooh, Mr. Combat, isn't that a bit cruel? nah, this is fun, BAM!

We do some muay thai moves today, some cool blocks and guards. 

He refers to his "partner" several times, I think he's making sure he doesn't get hit on by any of us mad moms.   oh please...

So then come the murderous shoulder swings, yes, I'll be feeling these... then it's

"One hundred and twenty consecutive jabs!  GO!!!  Chin down, shoulders forward,
look at your opponent, get the face!!! (ooh yeah, I will!!! whack! whack! whack! lovin this, baby!!!!!)

"10,9,8,7, GO MAD CARY MOMS, FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT!  5,4,3,2, HOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!"

We get our mats, time for push-ups. "I'd rather see proper form and on your knees than crap form on your toes."  ok, I get it. I"ll do girlie push-ups today.  Don't wanna get pounded for my crap form.
Sit-ups, stretches, cute little Asian-like bow to the instructor... we're done. 

Great class. I'll be back next week. If I've recovered.
