4 weeks today
Today marked 4 weeks training for me. It was also the first day that I was allowed to roll! When the class first started, I was not asked to go with the new students this time. I was allowed to participate in the actual class! Vlad and I worked on two half-guard sweeps, then everyone started sparring. I just sat there for a minute not knowing what to do. I had never be allowed to stay.
Let me just say, I pretty much sucked. This is what I expected. I am still too scared that I am going to hurt someone, and found myself appologizing constantly. I’ve got to get over it. Also, I had a really hard time remembering what I had learned, and what I can do. I felt like a retard. After class, Vlad and I worked together a bit, which is always fun! The good thing is that even though I sucked hard, I am not discouraged. And I still love it!
