The FREE TRIAL class
So I did it. I decided to take the free trial class. I ate a god damn banana and rode my bike to a fricken' gym. I made the first step. This time the building was full. There were several people in the boxing ring in the corner, and on the front portion of the mat were about ten to twelve people practicing Jiu Jitsu. In one corner, half a dozen people were running around a portable obstacle course or some shit, and way in the back were a handful of people lifting weights. I nervously, quietly, told the person at the front desk that I was there to check out the Muay Thai program. "Oh, cool. Do you have gloves or handwraps?" "Nope, I sure don't." "Have you done any martial arts before?" "Nope." The dude literally gave out a sigh, rolled his eyes, and said "Whoa." I need to pause here, in case anyone reads this. This wasn't a jab on his part, and this is also not a dis on my part....
