Word to the wise: Don’t go a full week between Krav Maga classes. The first class back after a hiatus is always harder than you expect, even if it’s only a weeklong absence. It doesn’t matter. I felt weak, out of shape, and discombobulated. My head wasn’t really in it.

How do I know?

I accidentally kneed Chris in the groin. Yeah…

When you spend 20 bucks on a protective cup, you should wear it.

I say that like it’s his fault, but really it was my own. I should have been more focused. He was able to recover quickly, but it just reminded me how important it is to concentrate on what’s going on. That’s how people get seriously hurt.

In other news, I did miss the Level 1 test on Saturday. I was pretty disappointed, but it was completely worth seeing my cousin achieve a dream of hers. I don’t mind putting my own aspirations on hold to see her accomplish hers.
