I FEEL GREAT! My sternum hurts a little bit but other than that I'm cool. Apprarently it's very important to know how to fall and I don't know about the fighting part yet but when it comes to falling, I must be a natural because they loved how I was falling down...My brain got jarred a few times in my skull but the headache was short lived.
I was so good with falling that they taught me a throw today. I learned the "O Goshi" throw which is basically a major side hip throw....Judo isn't about lifting the person up in the air to throw. It involves swinging them in a circle and using balance.
And you learn shit that is useful in the streets on the first day! I can easily see how throws can be adapted on the street by grabbing the shirt instead if a "Gi" and grabbing the throat to exert force during a foot sweep instead of balling the shirt up into your fist.
And you get great exercise...I was sweatin profusely just after the stretching exercises. My ass isn't used to shit like that and I NEEDED this.
Man I feel great...that two hours was food for the soul. I can't wait until tomorrow.
