hey all :)
well, i finally made it down to the FWA training facility near me, i pulled up around the end of the session and they were building a 6 sided ring in the car park, a fine start!!
i waited around for a few minutes and met the guy who runs the place, said he was just taking the ring down again and he'd send someone in...
well, these 2 guys come in from outside and i immediately felt old *lol* i'm 24 and these two were about 19 and fair play to them, they knew their stuff!
i thought i'd just be having a brief chat about a good day to start, any concerns about it, etc.... OOOOOOOH NO.
"ok, quick warmup" says the first guy.. cue 5 minutes jogging, star jumping, etc, ok, bit odd considering i just went in for a chat but whatever :)
then they take me into one of the training rings and just throw me in the deep end!!
i spent about half an hour practicing back bumps, high bumps, side and flip bumps, lockups, rope running...
by the end of the half hour i could do a "lockup to headlock, lead to ropes, pushoff to shoulderblock, rope run and throw a clotheline" spot.. it was utterly brilliant!
i'm gonna ache like hell tomorrow i think (collarbone area is already throbbing) but it was totally worth it, i can't wait to go back. the 2 guys were REALLY cool, helpful and friendly, i picked it up pretty damn fast as i'm a quick learner and was also told that i'd have to help step around in the lockup cos the other guy couldn't shift me (working out actually DOES do something.. who knew?!?! :) )
all in all, i enjoyed it 200% and firmly believe i'm gonna love every minute of this...
ok, i'm off to find some ice packs *lol*

Aw...that's sweet! Lucky you, got to actually learn wrestling. I wish there was a wrestling school near me :( Well good luck recovering :D
how can i find out where the schools are? wouldnt mine having a go myself
*puts the thumbs up*
Similar(ish) to my experience when I went down to Hammerlock (ie NWA-UK) for a training session. The warm up nearly killed me. By the end of the day we were already on suplexes and had been thrown about a bit in the ring. I've been back twice since... it's fun, when you get used to it.
