Oh it is good to be back training!

Robsco 1319 posts	Wednesday 7th November 2007 at 23:12 First session back training after a good 2-3 years, not too much of a killer warm-up which was good, so managed to get a lot out of it without being on life-support in a corner. Getting there was a ball-ache, trains cancelled, tube terminating one stop too early, etc. Obviously forgotten a few things here and there but surprisingly remembered a fair lot, just need to practice applying the techniques again. To top it off, during one of my last fights managed to pull off a nice arm-bar escape, well chuffed there, quite weird how things just pop back in your head after so long. Legs aren't happy, not happy at all, got a sneaky feeling they won't wanna budge in the morning, but hopefully 2 days resting-ish should get me back ready for Saturdays class. Got a week off work in a weeks time so gonna aim for the Mon+Wed+Fri lunchtime classes. Little bit more expensive than what I'm used to, but actually what I was expecting to train with Roger Gracie. By the way Andy, is it Roger or Hoger? I heard a few different variations tonight. Reet, time to soak some unhappy muscles. The Admin Guy
