My Hopes for Martial Arts Training

The muscles of the legs and hips are quite large. If they can be enlarged, the total blood vein length will increase. That will greatly increase the volume of blood entering my abdomen. I went to Praying Mantis class for the 3rd time. This time I tried a little harder to get down low like the much younger men in my class. As a result, I came home almost feeling nausea from using muscles that I have never used before. The movements are fast so I have trouble keeping track of what is being done. But there is a rhythm and a coordination to the movement that I can't quite get, but it is quite obvious to everyone else, so maybe I will pick it up. At Aikido, my teacher asked me to do a move that is the hardest one in the second belt exam. It was in front of a class of black belts so a bit intimidating. I feel my reputation is the one who forgets every move as soon as it is shown. Several days before I was the only student in class and I figured this difficult move out with my teacher'S help. Since the norm is for me to be standing in front of the class being corrected, this really felt good to have mastered something. The praying mantis if from from that. I feel if I can just strengthen my legs and hips, I really don't care that much about mastering the form. This has been my attitude for years with Aikido, so no doubt it is appropriate for the Praying Mantis.
