Dino himself is impressive, physically (I have never been in as good a shape as he is) but also in personality. He was completely professional, very patient with my questions, and my mistakes. My wife summed it up perfectly, "What a nice guy he is, not at all what I expected!"
I have some habits I need to lose, from other training I've received over the years, and I really need to stretch out more (for flexibility in my knees and hips), but I managed to avoid totally embarrassing myself.
As we were driving home, I asked my wife, "How come your clothes are all wet, honey?"
Mine were wet from sweat. It was a deceptively thorough workout, but she just watched, so I was puzzled.
She looked at me like I was crazy and said, "It's been raining on us for over an hour, didn't you notice?".
I hadn't, actually - it was a great training session.
All in all, a very good first day, and I'm looking forward to more.
If you are ever in the Tampa/St. Petersburg area, give me a shout. I'd love to meet others who study PTK.
