Ultimate Fighting

I started training at LA Boxing this past week. I say "training" instead of "working out" because unlike your normal 24 hour fitness gym, this one teaches you new skills and really works you out as a result. The skills I'm talking about are Ultimate Fighting skills, or skillz--whichever you prefer.

The class I took was Muay Thai Kickboxing. It was the hardest workout I've had since I did wrestling in high school. Unfortunately, it was a little too hard for me and I ended up tearing my calf muscles (I think). We did calf exercises for the last few minutes and I think I overexerted myself. I spent Friday and Saturday trying to keep off my legs and keeping them iced, heated, or compressed. Here's a picture:

My legs feel much better today so I hope I will feel well enough to make it to LA Boxing Monday night!

OUCH! That sounds SO painful. Graham was really into fighting in high school, not something many people know. He loves American Kempo.

That's cool. I took Muay Thai for a couple semesters. I think it's my favorite stance. I now feel good about you having married Catherine. Congratulations, a few years late.
