This weekend one of Rob's colleagues invited us to attended a Combat Hapkido Clinic. We've talked about taking Hapkido lessons for some time, but just never actually did it.There is a martial arts studio near our home that was hosting a well know Hapkido master for the weekend, so we thought this would be a great opportunity to get started.
It was really fun, and a work out different to anything we have done before. Especially when Rob punched me in the face. Seriously.
The master reminded us that it was a 'training accident' (that stays on the mat and doesn't follow us home), and that I should have been blocking him anyways. True.
Rob was really sorry...although I swear I saw him spit out a chuckle. But so did I. I managed to get it a few good jabs myself too. ☺
We are now toying with the idea of taking the more advanced course on a regular basis...I just don't like the idea of having to wear a gi.
So now we are both I am pretty sore from being thrown on the ground over and over again...but also prepared to fend off a mugging or two. Don't mess with us, we are now lethal!

I've never heard of Hapkido. That sounds like it would be pretty fun. Sorry you're sore but I'm sure you'll get used to it if you keep it up. Sounds fun!
Oh my gosh, I can't believe Rob punched you in the face! HAhaha! Well, I guess I can believe it because I can see Alex doing the same thing. Taking advantage of the situation to let out some pent up anger towards me. lol
(Remind me not to mess with either of you!)
Don't tell Travis you get free shots otherwise he will have us signed up. Sounds like a fun time! If you were a scrappy fighter before now you really are lethal!
