Warriors

Pal J started Warrior women around 13 years ago and she's recently moved into some new gym facilities to run her martial arts classess and personal training session from.  I was there when she first set it up and provided moral support and I'm over the moon that she's done so well with it.  Today she had an open day for the new gym and I went along to see the new space and get put through my paces!

The new gym is actually in the old gym where Warrior Women first started, but now under new owners and much upgraded.  It's a really great space and looks fantastic.  J started the day with a circuit class where I learnt some new things, then it was on to kick boxing where it was great to punch things again.  Finally, J ran and BJJ open mat where I sat out and caught up with some old friends and chatted to her fella.  Super fun morning and so pleased for J.  Also got introduced to some the the Warrior Women I've never met, and got a few 'Oh are you Jen of the socks?!' as many years ago I bought numerous warrior women bridgedales for walking.  Apprantely they are still getting good use out of them and on group walks everyone has matching socks and I get credited with introducing everyone to Bridgedales. The socks seem to have spread further...

Blip is of the kickboxing crew, there were some guests from a local Muay Thai gym doing a bit of a showcase who were really impressive and also upped the energy levels when we were all tired and sweaty!
