Day Two

Today was day number two of "deshi" and practice number one for Justin. Amber will begin her practice tomorrow as she had work today and was unable to attend class. Our first class met today at 4:30pm for the childrens training. Following this there was the beginners class and following that class was the advanced class. The final class ended around 8:30pm, so it was a good four hour training day. It has been a few years since my first and only prior aikdio training and it showed today on the mat. I was basically learning all over again, from the proper way to tie the Gi, to the proper way to fall, the proper way to roll, etc. It was as much fun as I remember and as physical too. I anticpate bruises and sore muscles for the first couple of weeks at least.
