Ouch...

Ok. So I went to class on Sunday~ It was pretty hard work but cool. There was a period when we were divided into 3 groups of 6 or 7, and we took turns jumping rope, did push-ups, and stomach crunches (at least I think that's what they're called). No rest between. Each of us counted to 10, not the jump rope though. Then we did a second round, but half as much. Shute. I don't quite remember what else we did. I only know I couldn't catch up with all the counts and my upper arm muscles started to sore real bad yesterday.
But the really cool part was, I watched them do their demos for a perfomance that's coming up. Oh my god. They played drums and gongs, and some other instruments. It's like the beats to a lion dance, and they did their forms in rhythm to it. Wow. I liked my previous kungfu class where we had kungfu music, but this was a whole different feeling. Too cool. I didn't recognize the forms at all, but the moves looked familiar individually.

The grandmaster didn't show up. (sigh) But I'll see him this Sunday.

Yesterday's class was more mild. We started off with jumping jacks. At the end of class me and this other guy--he's new too--we learned how to bow, do the horse stance, and 弓步. Very different.

Anyway, I have decided to sign up. I have to wear their shirt, but they don't have belts for beginners. We'll have to take tests to get it.

The instructor on Tuesday is from China. She's pretty nice so far. I can brush up on my Chinese
cuz we speak Chinese to each other most of the time:)
