Tonight I started training again with the Shoshin Ryu Jujitsu class I attended some months ago. We moved, I injured my back, and then I fell out of the habit of going.
Bad idea.
It's amazing how out of shape I feel after only one night of class. I remember having the ability to last 2 hours of training, but tonight I felt as though I had never attended. I remember the moves, the katas, and even the exercise regimen, but I failed to remember that I have not been working out at this level of intensity for several months.
My intention is to be in class every week now. I have my yellow belt (only second from the bottom rung) but I hope to attain my blue belt before the end of this year. It'll mean a LOT of work, a lot of practice, even away from class, but I know I will be able to do it.
Right now, however, I need to lie down. After I stretch a bit.
