Grunt, groan, grrrowlllll

Saturday

Taught 2 kids class and mucked about with em. Little ones are super dopey and endearing. The slightly older pre pubescent ones are starting to look like serious capoeiristas. My body told me today is a good day to take it easy

Friday
Demo at Taylors. The boys did a great job with some simple choroegraphy that was rehearsed many times over the week.
