Hip, Hop. . . no Horay

Hopefully this is my last Thursday session. Not because I don't like it but because when I get back from CA I am looking forward to being able to work from 9-5 on Monday and Wednesday so I can do multiple classes on those days, including MMA Grappling.

My hip really hurt today. It is an odd pain that is more acute than lasting. It prevents me pivoting or really putting any weight on it while kicking or even punching. I told Sifu about it on Tuesday and he was perplexed as to the cause of it. He mentioned it might be my hips "opening up," which would be a good thing. I might go see Darin on Monday while in CT and take an early train back.

Sifu addressed the class today about something special for next Tuesday. They, the gym, are issuing a challenge (God knows how I love challenges) to all members. Guest instructors will make an appearance for the 4 classes (Kickboxing, Warrior Fit, Boxing, and Kickboxing 2) making sure that members push themselves. Tuesdays I normally do all four classes but this made me very excited. They will also be judging participants and there might be some kind of "prize" awarded. I would be fine with pride and rising to the challenge but a tangible reward? Bring it!

Here is my attempt to load some video from my YouTube account (ProgThruAggression). The videos are from 3-6-10 sparring.
