Feeling the Pain From Krav

I am really feeling the pain from Krav tonight. Not "pain" really, just worn out. I wasn't able to go last week and I wonder if that affected me tonight. Probably not. Tonight would have kicked my butt no matter what. We primarily did a lot of front and roundhouse kicks. We worked on choke defense a little as well. I love choke defense. It feels awesome, like it would really work in real life. At the end of class we did kicks as hard and fast as we could for a few minutes. I thought I was going to pass out. I was barely able to stand in the line at the end of class. I made it through and everything, it was just a hard workout. It's a great reminder of why I go. I need that kind of workout to get me in shape. I was working with a first-timer tonight. He looked in great shape, but the class wore him out as well. There is something about the class that can be a challenge even for those in good shape. Ah well. I'm going to sleep well tonight.
