Confession time

[catalyst2]

Madness struck me about 5 weeks ago - I have started martial arts again.

I haven't gone back to Krav Maga, largely because of the distance and time involved. Instead, I am doing Kokikai Aikido. Given my present state of health and injury, it is probably far better for me than any other style with a local dojo that I can find.

So far so good although the hip spasms (courtesy of a serious hip injury two years ago and then the same hip muscle torn last Xmas) returned for a few weeks but now seem to be gone again. It has been great to get back into a form of exercise that makes me think and respond again. Going to the gym, walking and running simply drive me batty after a while because of the repetitiveness.

That's funny. I used to study Aikido, and recently have been shopping around for someone new to try. It turns out that there is a Krav Maga studio near my house, and I am somewhat interested in what it offers.
