Basics. Learned a couple new basics then drilled in class. I did pretty well tonight. I think the visualization is starting to pay off big dividends.

Basics. Worked on some basics in class today. Was a good workout on stances and movement. Did some pushups too.
Day 109
Basics. Today was “Instructor’s Choice” on the calendar. I went in with an open mind – without thinking ahead to anything we’d be doing, I just brought all my stuff. Sensei chose basics. My WORST subject…
I think I did 142 push ups in class today. Literally doing them until I fell on my stomach from my arms giving out. I stayed as mentally tough as I could and focused on getting to the next basic each time. I was able to regroup and deliver a final round without any basics in the end.
Great class though. I left feeling like I had a good wave of mental energy, sort of a mental cleanse if you will – i’ve been needing that for a while.
Day 91
Private Lesson: We worked on basics for an hour. I feel like I got over a lot of my jitters yesterday and then today with the private lesson got even further. I can see that I need a ton of work on my basics but all in all i’m okay with where I am. In other news, i’m getting better at push ups.
Day 90
Attended the afternoon class today. Sensei was out and so we were led by a fellow student (Green Belt). It was a great class, we worked basics. Specifically drilling Mi Bo Sey up and down the floor. We slowly built up into a few full sets of basics with push ups. Great class.
