Making Friends

 
The sponsor Eve and I work with, Jason owns the whole studio but mainly runs the martial arts and fitness part of it.  His friend Scott runs the fight gym (where they do personal training, MMA fighting and American boxing).   Scott isn’t the biggest guy but he is muscular and always has a stern look on his face, which makes him very intimidating.  We stay out of the fight gym unless accompanied by our sponsor because our project isn’t meant to be in there but also because Scott scares the bologna out of us.  Or at least he did until today.  Today, after an awesome circuit fitness class followed by some more boxing training, I showed Jason the pictures I took of the MMA fights and guess who walked in just in time to see them? Scott.  I was so nervous for him to look at them but he ended up loving the pictures.  I believe his exact words were “These are cool”; he is a man of many words.  At any rate, I am now on good terms with Scott, he sent us a thank you email for the pictures and even said hi when he came by later in the day!
Also after we finished boxing today, Jason mentioned that a couple women who take his fitness class in the morning with us have offered to teach us some self-defense groundwork.  We of course graciously accepted the offer and will hopefully get to learn some self-defense techniques too as well as the cool boxing stuff we are already learning!
