Tkd session
Feeling: Whumped!
Word: Whumpness- The act of being whumped... again pretty self explanitory.
Just got back from tkd... and i'm feeling a little sore. Mainly in the stomach where i got kicked. Which hey, is partly my fault, cos i didn't block and move fast enough, but still hurt like a son-of-a-bitch. And then i got a little more bashed on arms, but hey, it's all in the name of training, and i DID choose a sport where getting hit is sorta inevitable.
For our warm up Neil had us doing relay stuff. Which was fun. Especially when he started to make some of the things up. We were doing going what the hell are we meant to be doing? I really really don't get this. And it got to the point where all the teams were at the end because we had forgotten that it was then a sprint back to the start. So Neil's standing there, with a look of "what the hell are you doing, just standing there for?! Run!" Mucho chaos. And brick walls aint that forgiving when you're running full belt at then.
Neil got the green belts, boy does it feel good to say that!, to do some breaking at the end of the session. So i'm feeling a little apprehensive and tender, but it's only a step through side kick, and that's pretty simple enough. And if i start to break now i may feel more ready to go for my blue tags.
So anyway, everyone else except Nicolas and me has been up, so i get up, figure there's no harm in trying. And Neil decides that hey, i want you to do a hand technique. So i think, hey, no problem, i'm more comfortble with that anyway. So then Neil carries on and says i want you to break it with your elbow. And i'm like 'WTF?! My elbow?! That aint part of my hand... it's my ARM! More than that, it's my gorram elbow!' So, after getting what the hell i'm meant to do so that i don't break my elbow/arm/wrist (at least hopefully), i give it a go. And the first attempt is too soft. I realise that. So i try again. But the gorram piece of wood will not frelling break!
But hey, there will be other times. And it's not like we actually condition our elbows like we do legs and hands. I mean, out of all the training sessions i've been to, we've had maybe a half hour working on elbow strikes. But it would have been nice to have broken it. Ah well.
Alun side kicked his way through 4 inches of wood. Apparently he hadn't done it before, whereas Maceit had to try to break 5 to get his back tags and oly managed to break 4. Alun managed it on his second attempt, turned round to where a group of us were sitting miming "OW!"
So overall, it was a good lesson i guess. Bar the whumpness.
