I just got back from my first night returning to martial arts training. I feel good, a little sore, more than a little out of practice … but very happy to be back.
Everything felt natural. Not perfect, but natural. My kicks need work, my legs don’t stretch as well as they did last year and my stances aren’t as comfortable. But self defense drills felt good: I can block, I remember to check my opponent’s elbow, I can take falls with ease.
It’s the same school I left, and it’s the same school I wanted to come back to. Tomorrow my hips will protest, but I’ll work on them later.
