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.
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
