Kung fu was a lot of fun, but I feel like I've been sandpapered. We have been working on speed, and last night's activity was like playing tag. We partnered up, and the object of the game was to give a front kick to our partner's belly. They were allowed to block, but not move their feet. If you kicked and didn't hit the target, it became your partner's turn. The first person to get to ten won.
I won a couple of matches, but by the end, I was too pooped out to do anything but block. As a result, my elbows and forearms are scraped up and unlovely. But it was fun. I'd like to do it again, but maybe with friendlier footwear.
I did get a good, solid elbow smash to my left ankle during one of my kicks. At least, that's what I think happened. Andrew is very fast, and his elbows sharp and bony. He also has the prettiest kung fu in the class, by the way. I could watch him do forms all day. I still remember when we were practicing sword form, and he didn't have a sword. He used an umbrella, and made the form look like it was supposed to be an umbrella form, and not a sword form. I'll bet he could have made it look good with a plastic spoon, even. Heh....
When we weren't kicking at each other, we did 15-second speed drills. I know I can move very quickly. My left side is a bit faster than my right (maybe because standing on my left ankle smarted). I do 27 kicks with my left, or 25 with my right. I know I can do better, but I was already winded from the partner exercises. I'm sure I can break 30 in 15 seconds.
Afterwards, I returned home with Linda,![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
cyrus_t, and gha5t to watch The Aristocrats. cyrus_t did a pretty good job of telling us his own version of the infamous joke. I have my own ideas, but need to develop them a bit further. Let's just say they involve some of the more repulsive things I've discovered on the seedy side of the internet. There's more to this joke than your everyday incest and scatological behaviour.
BTW,f00dave, you might want to make a curtain to hide your flogger collection from vanilla eyes. When people go to use the phone, they catch quite an eyeful.
