Well I start Tuesday....

I'm excited...start with a private session next Tuesday. First time I have trained in years....hope it doesn't hurt too bad. :)

Got my gi and paid my dues....woot.
 
Returning from a hiatus in training is usually a humbling (and frequently pain-inducing :) ) experience. Glad to hear you made it back to the mats (a lot of people never do). Please keep us updated.
 
It was rough...

Legs are total jello from getting up and down repeatedly. Shoulder hurts from doing a total suck roll on my left side....right side was really decent.

Liked the instructor and the other students were nice enough. It was a 2 hours class for me...1 hour with just me and the instructor going through falls and then the next hour with the regular class.

Looking forward to going back and learning.
 
My sensei always said rolling was a 20 year technique. So keep practicing and don't forget....RICE!
 
I can not even begin to tell you guys how sore I am from Tuesday's class. I mean I work out in a gym a couple times a week and this is on a whole new level. My legs, abs, shoulders and hip/butt muscles are so freaking sore it's ridiculous. Missed class tonight because of it but I'll be in Saturday's class.

I know the feeling. When I studied Hapkido in Korea, I was in my 40s. I was always pushing on my stretching, and got where I could do more than some of the younger guys. But I paid for it; I would be somewhere and decide to move to do something. Immediately I would evaluate the need against the pain I knew I would feel as soon as I started to move. :eek:

Yep, we did a breakfalling exercise last night in Aikido....feeling it today. That being said, it's not a horrible pain, rather a stiffness/achiness/soreness.....Great class. Weapons class tomorrow am.

I'm still really sore from Tuesday....how sad is that? Legs and abs anyway...

I'm going to class tomorrow though.
