First martial art lesson

[retroAA]

I had my first kickboxing Lesson. It’s was wonderful. The trainer was conscious of the newbies and knew that I wouldn’t get everything right, he was compassionate. The training and the drills felt really good for my body and I was so so concentrated while training, it was really good.

Half the battle is finding a good Instructor, glad you found one, hope it stays that way, Martial Arts are a Wonderful creation, they are as complex as Spiritual Systems and intermix at times with them too, keep at it, it will stay with You for the rest of Your life if You give it enough attention and dedication, one really gets to know themselves on certain levels via Martial Arts and its various Training Methods:)

@Ishanga yeah i think it will be good. I talked with him after class while the others were fighting and he told he sorts through people in his class, if people seem aggressive he kicks them out. And he’s really focused on nobody getting seriously hurt.

Totally agree

You get to know a lot of yourself when training. Particularly on sparring

That's good, Martial Arts is so much more than just about Fighting, of course that is one of its primary reasons for existence, but it goes way beyond this.. When I first started I researched so much about it, and Bruce Lee came up and I studied him very thoroughly, here is a good sharing of his, watch the Pierre Burton Interview, its the only English Interview of Bruce I believe in Existence, it was like a year or so before his death...Great Stuff!

Yes, good training ground for how to deal with Yourself and others lol.. good for headaches too:)

@Ishanga thanks! Yeah I had the feeling that kickboxing was a little bit like dancing with relatively serious contact haha.

Congratulations!

What I like about kickboxing is that its way more direct and grounded as a martial art in terms of it being actually useful in combat. Very little of the fluff you get in traditional martial arts, like bowing when entering "the dojo". There aren't that many moves in total to learn. You just get to practice what there is a lot.

@Basman In terms of striking: kickboxing and Muay Thai are very complete 

Remember there is Wrestling 

As well as Grappling 

The rock paper scissors of Combat

You are kicking ass in life, great work 🫡
