Kicking Boxes and Taking Names

     One thing I forgot to mention in my major update post is kickboxing. I’ve been going to kickboxing twice a week since July 27, 2006. It’s not sparring or anything crazy, but it is taught at a karate school by a third degree black belt, JR Hutson and occasionally his wife, RC Hutson (pictured at right). It’s a very upbeat class, and JR in particular is very motivational. We do a lot of punching and kicking, but there’s also a cardiovascular component and even some basic strength and core training.
I started going to kickboxing because Renee wanted me to come. Renee started kickboxing because JR owns the restaurant she works for, Pilot Pete’s, and he recommended it to her. Now, Michelle comes as well. The classes are at National Karate in South Elgin (yes, there are closer National Karate schools that teach kickboxing, but the instructors aren’t as good) on Tuesday & Thursday nights. There’s also a Saturday morning class if you’re insane enough to want to punch things at 8am.

Feeling: Sore from yesterday’s kickboxing :-/

One thought on “Kicking Boxes and Taking Names

  1. Long time no talk.

    Glad to hear you seem to be doing well 🙂 Also glad to hear your eclipse is still plugging along and that you’ve expanded your musical tastes to a little country (hehe). Hope things with this Jonothan fellow go splendidly, sounds like a great guy.

    Enjoy this weather while we have it!
