Akido torture

Tuesday: Went for my very first Akido lesson. Went there quite prepared to fall very very many times. Well... kinda warned from my seniors. So we got started.
Learned how to fall correctly, I mean in the way that would minimize the impact. Backwards, side ways and front. Learned how to flip forwards but didn't dare to try. Did the 'duck walk' which was so complicated but looked so easy. After learning all those, we were taught some self defense moves.

After 2 hours of 'torture', finally went home. My knees were red from the 'duck walk'. Taught that was it. But the next day, to my horror, woke up to a body ache. Seriously, it was pain all over my arms, legs and knees. Not to mention my neck and butt.

Till now, Friday, my knees are still aching. Been walking like an 'injured duck' as my room mate puts it. So hard to go up and especially down the steps. And everyday gotta climb up 3 floors to go to the lecture, lab and library.

Well, no regrets. Going again next Tuesday. Well, actually every Tuesday and maybe Wednesdays...
