| Welcome to the sport. I hope you stick with it. If your training is anything like mine, you'll start to reconsider within the second week or so.  Just keep at it, its definetly worth it.

| Have a hot bath after your next lesson, it'll help a great deal.
Welcome to the forum by the way.

Welcome to the forum by the way. | Personally, I prefer a warm shower, but submergence in warm liquid does have its advantages.

| Also, remember to stretch out before and after each practice; it will help your short and long term performance as well as cutting down on pain afterwards.

| LaBelle,
Welcome to the sport and the forum. I hope you enjoy both and don't worry, you'll stop being sore when you die. Good advice above about stretching--it's worth it.
I'm from the next state south of you.
Brian
