Had a good talk with guro tonight. We talked more about the history of eskrima. Then he'd mentioned that in the higher levels of the art there are healers. Very interesting to me as a massage therapist. He then showed me certain folk dances that have the same attributes of the lesson he'd taught earlier. And when I mentioned Kuya, he got really excited! Apparently Kuya was one of his favorite students. I'm really looking forward to practicing more and more.
Also, I of course don't have sticks. When I got to the class I'd asked if I could borrow a pair. One of the guys tells me to grab a pair out of his bag. When I was going to give them back to him at the end of the lesson he'd told me to keep them. But he did make me promise that I would come back again.
I think I'm going to do really well with this group. I'm so going to rock this shit.
