Painful Kung Fu

After tuesday night's class, I was sore in like every muscle in my body. I was almost scared to go to thursday night's class, but I decided to force myself to go anyways. The class was actually pretty easy. We did some simple stuff and then spent half of the class doing forms since we didn't get a chance to practice forms at all on tuesday. It was a good thing because I know most of the bo-staff form now! It needs a lot of practice though. The last 5 minutes of class he decided to pull out the mats and have us practice round offs. This is the part where I fell apart. We spent quite some time doing it, and I did more round off back flips than I should have. Everything in my legs were either hurting or sore. My ankles were about to explode, I think I overdid it a little. To be honest, my ankle STILL hasn't fully healed yet. I really need to be careful. Good thing I have the weekend to rest until next tuesday.

After the class was over I decided to stay a few minutes after to hang out. My sifu told me and another classmate that he wanted us and another classmate to each learn a drunken form. Then he wants us to perform them at a demo some time in the future. So one person is doing drunken bo-staff, another is doing drunken straight sword, another is doing drunken fist, and he wants me to learn drunken broad sword. I was excited to hear it, but at the same time it concerned me because I know everything they teach is write handed, but I'm left handed.. It shouldn't be too big of a deal though. If he's really serious about it, then I definitely look forward to it!
