Hit me

Another new icon! I'm having much fun with new icons.

One more hour and I'm out of here until Monday. Our chair deserves some sort of Gold Star of Awesomeness for letting us shut down the office at noon today.

Roxxor!

Last night was another boxing session, which means my hands are kinda wobbly and sore today. But no sprains! Why yes, with the proper motivation, I can be a quick study. I bruised my right hand, though, between the pinky and ring fingers. A pretty common complaint, I hear. I had a lot more fun this time, since we focused on (relatively) light punching on the bag as a workout rather than striking the bag with large amounts of force. I am very bad at incorporating my hips (and lower body in general) into my punches. I need to work on that.

Someday I'll be good enough to spar with mckitterick and though I will so come out for the worse in that particular exchange, it will be fucking epic. I am considering selling tickets.

I'm also considering adding "fucking epic" as a tag, but I'm afraid it would be horribly under- or over-used to the point of uselessness.

You ARE a quick study. Good job with the effective and safe punching! Also good endurance.

I've been twisting, then compacting aluminum cans with my hands, and I could swear my finger and hand strength has improved. I don't know, however, if I am ready to punch things. I know I want to punch things, but that has always been true.

Hooray for no sprains!

I'll betcha you have a hard time incorporating your hips because of your dance background. As belly dancers, we're used to moving our upper and lower torso as discrete units. You've got to think more of the torso as one solid piece, instead, kinda like when you're holding a plank. That's when you'll get more power generated through your feet up through your hips and into your strikes. Make sense?
