Im in ur dojo, doing ur brakefallz

[chrisvenus]

Sorry about the title. The "I'm in your ____, ____ing your ______" thing seems to be stuck in my head...

But to get back to the title I was in a dojo last night, doing breakfalls. Well, doing things that were pretty close to breakfalls and sometimes were just me falling and breaking... It seems that after quisalan spending months telling me I should go to her Jujitsu classes that I have. Given my fitness level it was hard work. I was knackered by the end of it all and aching a bit today.

It was fun though. Being a noob I did warm up with everybody (except for the bits I slacked out of a bit more) and then some bunny hopping and rolling and things. Then I got led off to a separate mat where I was taught breakfalls. I can now do (though not always perfectly) right hand rolling breakfalls, left and right normal falls, back and faceplant which may just be called front or something. I did once do a reaosnably good left hand rolling breakfall but it was awful. And I've only done the faceplant from kneeling.

I am going to go along next week and practice more breakfalls. And maybe the week after that too. Then I might get to do some real stuff. At that point I'll decide whether I want to keep it all up.

Is it a convenient class for you to get to?

You know that sounds a lot like throwing yourself at the floor for fun. Oh well, everyone's gotta have a hobby :-)
