I had my second ju-jitsu class tonight. I got my pants, shirt, and belt when I arrived at class. It's called a gi. And I'm one of two white belts in the class. The other is a ten-ish year old boy. I have no shame. I wore it well. And the fact that it's a size five was enough to make me feel better about myself! The whole getup was as comfy as I always imagined it would be - it's very much like wearing pajamas.
Tonight I learned some punch blocking and throwing and some bear hug releases. It was a lot of fun. I did not get to do each move as much as I'd like and will probably have a hard time remembering them all. I really wish I could go twice a week.
While I have no idea where my training will take me, I do know it's a fun way to spend one hour a week. I'm already looking forward to next time!
