Spike's Bitches 44: It's about the rules having changed.  

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

My Sister Rachel had a three inch wide purple L across her body from a car accident. I thanked God she had that bruise every time I saw it.

I got a seriously purple boob from the one major crash I've ever been in. I don't remember bruising elsewhere.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Weirdest bruise I had... It's healed really well but the right one was purple for a bit after. Wasn't a flattering shade, either.

And you didn't take pictures?!?!?!

It wasn't flattering, why would I take pictures? If I have learned nothing from the Lady of the Manners, it's ... no, that's not right.

Hey ita, I've almost got Emmett talked into Krav Maga as his non-baseball Fall activity. What's it like in beginners? How much conditioning vs. sparring?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

How much conditioning vs. sparring?

If he's doing "our" (Krav Maga Association of America Inc) krav, there's not much sparring to start off with--it doesn't become mandatory until green belt. Condition from the git go, for sure, though. Whew. Man, do I miss muscle tone.

I'm pretty sure it's your group. I don't think he'd want to do the conditioning without some fighting though. But you must do blocks and striking early on, just not while sparring?

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

On the one and only day I went to krav, we did head butts, but I think the instructor was just showing off for ita.

In case anyone was wondering, i'm heading out of town tomorrow morning for a little over a week, might have some net access but not much. *waves*

The regular classes build the reflexes for the fighting, so you have to take those and ingrain them first.

Yup. That's the order of things.
