haha, I’m a bit tired {said in the chirpiest way possible}. The combat didn’t end up being a video rehearsal class, but I stayed anyway. It was actually interesting to do a normal class on the timetable that didn’t have a Presenter teaching it. It’s the first time I’ve done that. What felt odd was that although she was a great instructor, it felt a lot like she was regurgitating stuff from the videos. There was a lot of cues and feel and innuendo’s that I could clearly see have come from Rach. It must be hard I suppose, teaching at LM-WOF and trying to live up to the standard of the choreographers and I guess most members wouldn’t notice.
One thing that put me off was she taught the jabs, ascending elbows, jabs, knee combo the wrong direction, like Eryx brought up in this post. It was completely unsettling, because like Eryx says, it puts you on the wrong foot. But what was worse is that when you do the block before the slow double roundhouses, it put her onto the wrong leg……which meant the combo we’d been doing before, we were now doing on the other side. And same happened vice versa. I’m not sure if she just made a mistake and that was her way of covering it up, or if she’s actually learnt it wrong?
I ended up staying for the filming class of pump. I ran into PJ and we had a quick chat before the class and that convinced me to stay. Also Wayne and his girlfriend Emily were doing it up the front so I thought “why not? I’ll just lift light weights.” Yeah right, I keep forgetting there’s no such thing as light with those bars! Most of it is a blur, the main things that stand out in my mind is that the warmup didn’t seem too crash hot, but the rest was great from there. oh, and I hope you guys are enjoying the bench lunges 😈
I skipped the abs so I could go get a sports drink to help me through Attack. As I mentioned earlier attack was the filming rehearsal. One of the tracks is a previous combat track and those plyos, ouch. I dunno if this one is hard or if it’s just cuz I’m struggling extra at the moment? The humidity, lack of sleep, multiple classes……….man I was smashed. There’s a new move thingy that looked really scary when they were previewing it (preview is part of the chorrey), but it was actually ok to pick up.
I met Linda. Wow, this has been one of the things I’ve really been looking forward to. It was kinda special. I’m just not too sure about the circumstances under which we initially met, and spent our first hour together………um, maybe that’s a secret that should be kept just between me and Linda? 😈
Later had tea with Wayne and Emily, filled up on pasta to hopefully recover for the onslaught tomorrow. Filmings start tomorrow night!!!!
