just fall over for no apparent reason.

haha...yes! I usually just pin them with some WWE shit, and get the 3 count.

But we have all been there, and sometime we forget what it's like to be super new. I remember Kendra walking me through shit when I was brand new - I felt slightly retarded. She told me to put my Whizzer in and i looked her square in the eye and told her I had no fucking clue what she was talking about.

[QUOTE=Rachael Kaulig;178759]I am heading down to LA next Sunday (July 7th) for just shy of 4 weeks. I will be down there for a class for work. The class is pretty tough with a good amount of homework/studying BUT I am going to do my best to hit as many 10P moons as I can. Now that 10P Spokane is no longer, I am even more excited/motivated to train with all you guys. I won't have class/school the first day (Monday the 8th) so I plan on hitting up 10P Costa Mesa during the day, and HQ that night. After that, it will be schedule permitting. Please, please let me know if you guys have anything going on during the weekends, as Saturdays and Sundays are my best bet for training.

Can't wait to roll with you!

West LA doesn't have classes on the weekends, but our Tuesday/Thursday classes start a little later, if that helps at all.

I'll also be down in Costa Mesa on Monday, but I usually roll in the evening so we may just miss each other.

[Rachael Kaulig]

I am super excited to train/ roll with you too! Once I get down there I should have a better idea on how often I will be able to train. I know some of the moons have open mat on the weekends, so hopefully we can at least get the women together then. I originally was supposed stay in San Pedro but now I am staying in Manhattan Beach, I believe West LA and HQ are the closest of the gym to me. I do plan on training at Costa Mesa as much as possible but I would like to hit as many as the moons as I can.

Depending on traffic (and because it's LA, pay VERY close attention to the rush-hour times...!), West LA, HQ, Van Nuys, and Costa Mesa are within an hour's drive of Manhattan beach.

West LA is definitely the closest. How convenient.

Yeah, rush hour traffic is why I changed my lodging. I didn't want to deal with it. My class is in El Segundo, so I am thinking I should only have a 10-15 drive to and from my hotel. I got the class start times from Scott, but how long are the evening classes. And I thought he said there was class on Sundays (?), is that class not Jiu Jitsu (wrestling??)

[Jee Kim]

The actual length of the evening classes, once warm-ups and drills are over, is about an hour. Then we just roll until we get sick of it. For our 8:30 and 9 o'clock classes, I usually leave around 10:30-11ish, but you are free to go whenever. Some people come in just to drill, some people only roll a couple rounds, etc.

And yea, I'm an idiot, and there is indeed class on Sunday afternoons at 2pm. It's all wrestling and takedowns, no submissions (although we can always discuss the transition into jiu jitsu submissions).

[Rachael Kaulig]

Good to know about class lengths. and then I can't imagine traffic is retarded then either (hopefully). What are your usual training days, and where (I know West LA is your "home" gym but it sounds like you hit up a couple other gyms too)
