Hapkido

I won a month's worth of free instruction at Rain Day at the American Judo-Hapkido institute. Earlier today I went in for my first appointment and lesson. We didn't do much but I can already tell that I worked some muscles!

Ladies - Let me tell you, if just this first lesson, where I am learning the basics that are used over and over again are any indication . . . You have to sign up just for the workout your thighs get! That's where I feel the most. It's not really painful or anything I can just feel it, if that makes any sense.

(Not to exclude the men there but you have to admit it's women who more often complain about their thighs!)

I'm very much looking forward to my next lesson and continuing with this. The staff I've met so far are wonderful and it seems to be a really supporting environment.

Stay tuned for more on my journey into hapkido.
