Ouch.

Well, I haven't hurt myself this much at martial arts for a long time. I guess I was overdue. Even typing is hurting (my fingers are aching from gripping people's giis). I walked back from Judo in what I can only call a haze of pain and even now I'm sitting here waiting for the painkillers to kick in a bit more. Reinjured my toe, though I'm not sure if it will bruise. My back's been twisted all the way around and is twinging a little atm, which I hope won't turn into twinging a lot in the morning, and the inside of my thighs are protesting any sort of walking above an old man's shuffle. I only have three bruises that I can count but I expect more in the morning so will update my count then, though I doubt I'll beat rinzei's formidable count of ten;) We didn't really do anything abnormal tonight other than more actual 'judo' style fighting (which accounts for two of my injuries...) and I ended up fighting a lot of guys who were bigger and taller than me, which isn't a problem in taijitsu but causes problems when you're doing ground fighting and can't fight dirty...

Think I'll go have a brandy and ginger ale and hope the pain goes away.

"Grabbing people's giis". I'm coming up with some rather unpleasant mental images, so you'll have to clear this up for me-- what's a gii?

Otherwise, I empathize with your pain. Poor dear.

Gii's are the long sleeve jackets worn by martial arts people... I may be spelling the word wrong of course.

Ah, but of course. How interesting. I'll have to use that word around my karate-involved friend and see if I can impress her.
