Bootcamp
You wake up, every muscle in your body aches, you are bruised, covered in mosquito bites and can barely move. Sound like a bad morning? Heck no! It's the morning after the best day ever!
I attended my very first bootcamp and honestly was extremely nervous and didn't think I'd even manage to survive the first half of the day. Guess what...I did! I didn't even care that I was the last one to finish the 2k run, I was just happy I finished. I've never even ran 2 kms before, okay, I'm going to be honest here, I don't run, period.
People kept telling me that it was going to be one of the best things I'd ever do and that I'd feel so good after. I looked at them like they were crazy and needed some crazy pills, who in their right mind would do this?! But, they were right. You have a strength you don't even know exists until you do something like bootcamp. Don't believe me either? Thinking that I've been brainwashed by before mentioned crazy people? Well, I'm not kidding you and if you read my blog, you would know I don't poop rainbows and kittens, I'm a tell it like it is kind of person. That being said You MUST TRY BOOTCAMP!
Things I learned;
I love Wing Chung.
Be cautious of tiny girls with fans.
I don't very much like hitting trees.
I really need to practice my combinations.
I really need to work on my horsestance.
I CAN do a hip throw.
I CAN survive a bootcamp.
I like walking meditation.
I can keep going...All the seminars were awesome and the support from the Sifus and other students was fantastic!
Sorry I missed class Sifu Lindstrom, I spent yesterday relearning how to walk. :)
See you all next year!
