Give a little, get a little; Give a lot, get a lot

Fantastic sparring class. Even though I was the only adult in class, which worked out to my benefit because I got to spar Instructor Marcus. He's fast, quick, powerful and really knows his stuff. It's always a pleasure spar someone like him. It makes me get out of my comfort zone and step it up a notch. I hope it improves my skills as well. Of course I had a leg crash with one of the rounds with my fellow classmates. I'll be gimping for a little while, but it's a good pain. For those who saw Kung Fu Panda 3, that was awesome! That is my favorite animated movie series. Even at age 45, I can really enjoy a good cartoon. And if you don't think they are made for adults, watch the old Warner Brothers. I laugh more than the kids. I wonder when we get to master our Ki energy and become one with the universe. That's probably after right after I learn to do a good hook kick. That might take a while. Luckily the universe isn't going anywhere for a while (hopefully).

Fun class
