I seem to have lost one of these... if you see it, could you please send it home?
You see, we've spent most of this week in Memphis, so Monday and Wednesday nights, I went to visit my old dojo and work out with them. No problem... except that Wednesday was this month's Iron Body class, which I haven't done since I left Memphis 4 years ago!
For those not familiar with the term, an Iron Body class is one where you push yourself both in terms of physical conditioning, and for conditioning to be able to absorb a blow. This latter involves repeatedly striking each of the major areas of the body except for the groin and the head. Not hard strikes, you understand, but repetitive ones. Just one will sting a bit. Two dozen or more... ow. Fifty... you get the idea.
Needless to say, today I am somewhat sore -- although not nearly as bad as I'd been afraid I'd be.
The thing that really boggled me was the bruise I found this morning, where I've never had one before -- and that's saying a lot! I'd never even heard of getting bruises on your stomach, but I managed it this time!
