After that, 4 of us scootered into town for kickboxing class. My shoulders are burning after 30 minutes of holding my arms up,, and throwing shadow jabs, punches & kicks. And I’m a puddle of sweat after an hour.

It’s a small, humble, studio club located above a scooter mechanic workshop. Rocky Balboa would be proud to train here. Several of the Indonesian guys have been training in Muy Thai kickboxing for years- and it’s impressive to see them throw 100 mph kicks on each other (holding pads). Someday I aspire to the 40mph kick. I think I’m starting off at 15mph though. Ha ha. Here’s a few pics.
