About 13 years ago, I was introduced to Krav Maga, life intervened and I stopped training, but I love the idea of defense, fitness, and going home safe. So, despite not officially training I would practice what I learned.
When we moved back to Idaho in 2016, I tried to find a new spot for training and I found Ignited Fitness FKA I Love Kickboxing. I fell in love with kickboxing and I trained regularly. Life happened and I stepped away from kickboxing, but I have a bag and gloves, so I kept up some of what I learned.
Despite not having a membership, I keep tabs on the offers and what’s going on at Ignited. So, when I saw a monthly program leading up to the holidays that was in my budget, I jumped at it.
This is week, I stepped back on the mat and it felt like coming home. My form needs work, my technique is weak… but my body remembers and it felt absolutely amazing. Yesterday, before class I was frustrated bordering on angry, after my hour on the mat using my skills, my body relaxed.
I have goals to meet before I meet my surgeon, adding kickboxing back in, seems like a good fit.
Also, yesterday at work, I opened up to a coworker about my mental health. She gave me a link to her provider. I looked it up from my personal device and, followed instinct. To my absolute surprise, the Practice owner, responded well after office hours, and within 4 emails, I have an intake appointment this week. I do not have to wait another 3+ weeks for my scheduled appointments. I shouted for joy, and I can’t wait to tell my coworker when she’s on shift again.
