Everybody's gotta start somewhere!awww you guys are awesome
Well....it most certainly is Lisa's fault.
I'll tell ... but ... I don't know if it is as good as a story as it sounds. Its really more of a testament for me being a beginner than anything else.
She needs to type faster!I am not good at waiting!
Nor am I...

I hope it's worth the wait..I think it will be...
Alrighty then! I'm glad no one here is in to noob bashing
So....I recently started at an FMA school and this was my first class as a "real student" - instead of a guest that got to work out with the class.
It's a Filipino school. No belt ranks, no gis, just a big mat, a lot of toys to play with and a lot of hard training.
My instructors set up a room off the mat and.....oh my lord you should see it. There's a Muay Thai sized wavemaster, a Wing Chun dummy, a stack of tires a box of sticks, a box of aluminum trainers, an ab work out ball, sparring gear....the floor itself is covered with a puzzle mat....it's so wonderful it's frightening. Or maybe it's so frightening its wonderful
I'll be posting in bits, bear with me

Sorry guys I'm afraid I may let you down...It's not that great of a story.
So....I got in about 30 minutes of a workout with the Wavemaster XXL. I mean I'm wailing on this thing. I'm kicking it, punching it, clotheslining it, bodyslamming it, I'm just giving the thing a good thrashing. And it feels sooooo good.

Class is starting a little late, and my instructors are always brewing Sumatran coffee. I guess I should say it's a Southeast Asian school because we train in Silat as well. Sumatran coffee, Sumatran Silat. That works
Something that I learned about my school is that so many people there are instructors. Or, as my guro says "Students that have schools of their own." I was paired with two of such people, including a Ruski that I was partnered with before.

And....me and coffee being such good friends I got in a few good gulps before class.
I started out with one of the other instructors, he's going over the Cinco Tero (five strikes) system with me. So, we spent the first part of class waving sticks at each other.
So....my instructor sees that I'm getting the 5 strikes down, he then goes to put footwork with it.
