Fans,
I attempted just last Friday, my first attempt at Ju Jitsu. It is not structured like a real martial art, at least not this class. This class is what is called "non-gui" which means there is no ranking, no belts. Basically, this class is taught by a guy who knows a lot of ju jitsu and does fight in tournaments, but isn't able to legitimately teach. I went to the class and found out that I am actually pretty good at this. I was good at Tae kwon Do, enough to reach an elite level, but because my teacher moved, because I moved, I was unable to continue. So Friday, I attempted this class, which I enjoyed, but soon after getting home, my knee was in so much pain that I could not sleep. I iced it, I heated it and it still hurt. Immense pain. After ibuprofen and tylenol, I am still in considerable amounts of pain, but things are getting better. My knee is stable, so there is a positive, but apparently the moving, the holds, etc., caused a strain.
Because of all of this, I am bound to the couch for the foreseeable future. Which really sucks because it is a very nice day and I could use a good run. The good news, the diet system with everything I ordered is coming in, so let's hope that my knee will be better. My plan is to start after the Superbowl, the Monday after (if the program is here) and then I will be on my way. I hope that my knee gets better and it should be...as for now, I am couch bound and watching movies.
