There's A Lot of Pain on the Road to Badass

This is what our instructor to us a few years ago when I was a white belt in SKA at Summer Special Training.  That same thought was going through my mind during sparring practice tonight, which was held right after black belt practice.  I felt a little better after discovering I wasn't the only one still trying to recover from last Friday's black belt practice/ sparring practice sessions.  I came home and made a beeline straight to the tub and some Epsom salt.
