Second Aikido session last night..

[D]

.. and God, I ache today.

Managed to pull, and utterly stun my left shoulder in a failed rolling attempt, when it transpired my unbendable arm, was in fact, very bendable.. Oops.. lots of work needed I believe ;)

Then spent most of the evening playing with a couple of shodans, before working with another white belt (and also a friend of mine), as she began showing me the techniques that would be on my first grading.

All good fun, I can see this being something I'm going to enjoy aplenty :)

I'm not remembering much of what I've done at the moment, sadly, due to my horrendously poor memory, so it feels as though I'm more working at fitness (and the differences last night, as compared to last Wednesday were as stark, as they were pleasing :) ).

Not looking forward to the day when I have to at least attempt a backwards roll, mind.. :(

D dont worry its easy - you just place one leg behind the other, and fall over backwards (sort of) and you just roll. just remember to tuck your head in at all times.

Easier said than done when you're 28st+/-, Martin :)

I'll get it eventually, it's just a daunting thought for now. Only done two sessions, so I have millions more to come, I'd imagine :D
