Body, I command you to move. Move now!

First Karate class complete.  I'm alive, no black eye.  The kids didn't laugh at me, nor did they make fun of me.  I didn't feel awkward at all, they were nice.  There was one other adult and while she had an Orange Belt, she was just as bad as me in the same boat as me.

It's bizarre.  I got there early to watch for a while.  It seemed simple, kick, punch and kia (spirit yell).  Side kick, front kick.. sure okay.  NO.  Only in my mind.  The body - tight, uncooperative... and my balance was horrible.

It was no where near as bad as yoga.  I will certainly return - only, with tempered expectations and humility.
