3 Inches or 6 Inches

Week 4 of kickboxing and I am determined to stick with it. According to Elle Woods, “Exercise gives you endorphins. Endorphins make you happy. Happy people just don't shoot their husbands” Not that I have a husband yet, but I’m confident that I am doing my future “better half” a great service by producing plenty of endorphins now, to ensure our long life together…

Lesson of the day… introduction to escrema, loosely translated… fighting with weapons. In my attempt to keep the endorphins flowing and to save mankind, I encouraged a friend to join me in my quest.

So honestly what do you do when your instructor is standing in front of you holding a stick-like-weapon, and projects to the class, “sometimes I like 3 inches and sometimes I like 6 inches, whatever you prefer.” Well the obvious, you stare at your friend in the mirror behind you, and choke back the laughter and admit to yourself, “who would ever prefer 3 inches!”
