Oh it is good to be back training!

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.

i never thought i'd see the day!!

Nice one for goin back, its one of the hardest things but all credit to ya!!

Looks like I won't be there on Sat, legs still not happy, so it'll be Monday i reckon.

Btw Andy, was that a "normal" warm-up, or are there occassional killer ones?

that was relatively nice.

dont wimp out, come tomorrow, your legs will be fine by then. if you had a hot bath after training that is why you still ache.

I thought a good soak was meant to be good for knackered muscles? :-/

I don't think you realise just how out of shape I am, literally no exercise for over 2 years.

Btw, did ya catch my nifty arm-bar escape? :-D

cold shower after training!!! you'll never ache again.

Tomorrow is only a sparring class so you can do as much or as little as you want.

need to get your monies worth

Oh now ya tell me! :-/

Don't worry about getting my monies worth, i'll be doing that, just not tomorrow.

Is it always a sparring class on sats? is there any sort of routine to the classes?

oh, and are classes still on next sat? i saw that stuff on the website about the kids day thing.

open day is 1-3pm so i assume sparring class will still be on at 3.

see you tomorrow?

I should be there tomorrow night yeah, dint think ya went on Mondays?

i go when i can, normally weds and sat, but i will be there tomorrow aswell

Is there a special code for the door? Can ya mail me it?

yeah yeah, before ya start :-p

I'm still working at 10pm :-/
