We had our capybara class tonight. OK, Capoeira, but that isn’t as much fun as the world’s biggest rodent. But, I’m not allergic to it and am to the rodent, so it works out.
There was one point I had to say “This is old people take a break time now.”
I can’t do all of the moves. As I’ve said before, I didn’t stretch that way when I was young and I’m not going to now.
But, some of the balance and movement things I can do, so that’s something.
Of course when the instructor starts doing flips and spins in the air that is something else.
Sadly, one of the folks who is 25 or so years younger then me did collapse at class. I guess she’s got some sort of problem that makes her pass out from time to time, and after doing a bunch of spin kicks, it kicked in.
She recovered quickly and her friend took her off to her room. But, it freaked the instructor right out and pretty much ended class for the night.
I don’t speak Portuguese, but I can still tell he was saying to the other instructor over and over “what if that happened when we were sparring?”
As someone who pays for liability insurance, I know the feeling.
He did spend some time after that teaching me to kick the right way. You step right, then spin left. Or, step left and spin right.
But, being very iffy on the whole left right thing I tended to step and go “Which way now?”
Hopefully I’ll remember.
Then, I pulled on my pants over my bathing suit and underwear and we headed home.
In all honestly, I’m not as tired as last time. Probably because we quit 20 minutes early. But, I’m going to claim I’m getting used to it.
