There's a NHB club at my school, so I thought I'd check it out last night. It was pretty cool, actually. It's not as structured as a traditional class where one teacher leads the whole class, it's more like, you work out with people in different groups and work on different things. It goes for 2 hours. Last night I was working out with the BJJ people (and getting owned) and then I did some orthodox Western boxing, which was cool because I've never studied a style with a horiztonal fist before. Then some sparring and stuff and then a bit of Wing Chun with one of the instructors there who is down with CMA.
Anyway, the class was cool cuz it was only like 10-12 people, but wouldn't you know it, at the end when I was doing some light sparring with some guy I went to block a kick, an easy kick (not going full force), doing a simple block, and something in my left shoulder got screwed up. Today it hurts when I push down on anything. I think I strained my rotator cuff or something. Such bull****. I would understand if I was going all out hardcore or something and got hurt, but this was bull**** light sparring and there was barely contact and I still got hurt. Wtf? It's akin to picking up a piece of paper and throwing out your back :D
So yeah, it better heal soon so I can start training again.
But I think this is cool. There are people who specialize in Western Boxing, JJ/Judo, and a CMA guy, but I'm not sure what he does besides WC and some qigong he was talking about.
Here's to hoping I finally have people to train with, and to actually learning some grappling!
Oh yeah, the funny part is that I'm stronger than almost everyone there. I don't know anyting about grappling at all, but I picked up some guy when I was in his guard. Haha, then I looked at the instructor and said "what do I do now?" hahaha.
Weight lifting owns you ;)
