Jab-Cross-Roundhouse

Today thus far has consisted of a trip to the post office (surprisingly out of the way), then heading down to Flinders St. for my very first Muay Thai kickboxing class.  It was the most fun I've had in a LONG time.  SUCH a great workout.  The instructor was really friendly, but totally called me out on my awkward Korean martial arts manners (bowing etc.)  So we warmed up with some jump-roping, which I am SO uncoordinated at, then stretched out and went straight into combos, which felt GREAT.  I forgot how satisfying hitting pads can be :)

We started out just doing a jab-cross combo, then the instructor (George) would add one or two more steps to it, and we would repeat 10 times.  I'm becoming convinced that my left hip has declared itself an independent nation from the rest of my body.  It REFUSES to turn properly when I kick on my left side.  Note to self: WORK left roundhouses >.<

Anyways, after getting nice and sweaty, I promptly filled out my membership information and got all set to go so I can now go train there whenever I feel like it :)  Tomorrow will hopefully ACTUALLY be my first day of BJJ, so we'll see how that goes...

Oh Oh and tomorrow is international student orientation, so I'll hopefully officially be a Melbourne Uni student with an ID card and an actual schedule of classes :)  Also maybe a few new friends?  We shall seeeeee

Tonight is the night market at the QV :)  Then maybe chilling on the patio and trying to meet more people that way? 

Ah how I love the subtle achieness of post-martial arts :)
