  01:23 am - my life as a wrestler, week 13
took Joy to practice today. She is thinking of joining the next class. She seemed to have fun, so we'll see how that goes. I think she wants to take a look at the other class as well so she gets an idea of how things progress and how hard it really gets. I hope she goes for it. It would be nice to know someone in "real life" who is doing this too. Anyway, its a lot of hard work, so its probably good that she wants to be sure.
Lots of new moves this week:
Did some more practicing of taking bodyslams. Thought we'd learn to give them this week but no. Did a much better job on taking my first couple last week than I did this week, but after I took a couple I was back into the swing of things. You gotta love any class where you can politely ask the instructor to please bodyslam you a couple more times. And then they do it, and it feels good.
Also did some practicing on the hiptoss. I'm giving them fine now, I think, still need to correct my form a bit on taking one. Specifically, I am bracing myself improperly with my arm. Definitely something to work on.
Learned the Flying Mare/Snap Mare, had no real problems giving it, was a little overanxious with taking it at first. Compensated a little bit and now that's fine too. From the snapmare, we learned the sleeper, and a chin lock. No real problems with either of these either. Did misplace my feet on the sleeper the first time, but I corrected it after that. *sigh* I always misplace my feet when I learn something new. Then we learned pins. This is good because it means that we have somewhere to go at the end of a match. Learned 3 different pins. Biggest problem I have is body placement. Need to pin higher on the chest. This shouldn't be too hard to work on either.
Moves learned this week: Snapmare, sleeper, chin lock, lateral press pin, leg lock pin, inverted leg lock pin. 31.5 down, 969.5 to go.

Oh, that's a good idea. Let's teach Joy more ways to kill people. :)
That said, that's awesome. I'm sure she'd be good at it. Think of the team you could make...
yeah... she looked great in the two seconds of actual practice she did. I hope she goes for it.
