more than just crossfit

Part of my matt adams 2.0 project (which I don't think I've discussed in this blog, but I definitely have discussed it to many in real life) is to explore new hobbies and interests that I've once put on the back burner for one reason or another. I've decided to become increasingly passionate about a select few things, and really dive into them rather than spread my interests out too thin.

That being said, I took my first Krav Maga class today. It was intense, and really really tiring to take it after my 5pm crossfit workout. I knew 2-a-days would be tough (looks like I'll be doing Krav Mondays / Tuesdays until the end of the Grace Bible Church thursday night series, then move to 3x a week) but I was really tired during the warmup. Not a "I'm too out of shape for this", but really a "I don't think my legs have any energy left" type thing. The instructor was awesome and put up with my sarcasm and laughed at my jokes (the key to my heart). Needless to say I'm excited to learn the Israeli form of self defense and attack (aka Krav Maga), yes its a workout but its also just practical knowledge. For instance today we learned how to escape rear choke holds when someone sneaks up on you (and then proceed to "eliminate the threat").

Anyone that's even slightly interested in learning should come to a class (its free to try), and right now the classes are small but will surely grow once they get mentioned on my super popular blog that nobody reads anymore.

Also in a fit of laziness (and a desire to not be on the computer so late), I may not post EVERY workout, you can always go to pinups main site to see the workouts everyday if you really want to. I'll try to keep a high posting rate on other various interesting topics and of course, feel free to ask me any questions (how's it going? do you like long walks on the beaches? are you keeping up with your workouts? etc)

So yes I did a WOD today, yes it was tough and left me on the floor (not to mention we ended with ab work post wod) in a pile of sweat, and yes I'm going back for more tomorrow.
