So we're two weeks into our training and after learning the silky skills at the Brazilian Soccer School last week, I decided we needed to learn more about 'discipline' and 'channelled agression'. So...I arranged for a few of us to pop down to Andover's Goshin Ju Jitsu club for a bit of a session.
So on Wednesday night, Rob 'The 'Hawk' Hawkins, Marc McIntyre, Lee Clarke and I joined in with a group of big, strong, angry people whilst they kicked the living daylights out of bags, fake humans and, in fact, each other.
Mike McGarry runs the club and allowed both Rob and I to 'spa' with him at one point. I'd never hit a human before this session and although I know my puny punches didn't hurt him in the slightest
We learnt how to kick (which will certainly help us in the match) and we learnt how to punch (which we'll hopefully refain from doing in the match). We did some meditating and I think we're now in the zone. Roll on next week!
