Aches and pains
Strange how quickly fitness suffers when you don't train even for a short space of time. One small two week holiday in Gran Caneria and seemingly my fitness, strength & flexibility have all evaporated (maybe it's all the sangria!).
Managed to make Master Drury's Tuesday lesson last night and boy, are the muscles (particularly the legs) complaining about it today. Even managed to over stretch on a side kick causing my left leg to twitch all day today.
We went though some self defense towards the end of the lesson. Master Drury gave a great bit of advice - above all else DO SOMETHING and do it QUICKLY. If it doesn't work (maybe your attackers' grab is too strong etc) do something else RIGHT AWAY and keep doing different things until the attack has been stopped. Once I heard it, it was so obvious, but just prior to that I'd been standing there scratching my head wondering what I should do. Don't want to get caught like that in a real situation.

I know the feeling of taking a break and paying for it after. Also when you hit the weights after a break. Its brutal.lol Regarding the self defence topic, its very true of your teacher. If one thing dosent work, you must quicklt do something else, stomp on there foot, punch to the face, knee to the groin, anything. Good post!
