494 + 495

Basics: Was able to work with another Shodan for ~25:00 on drilling through basics. Good stuff, helped a ton. Then regrouped with the main class and then drilled again for ~3 rounds. Would have done a few push-ups for sure, but overall i’m feeling decent about basics again.

2nd Class: Self Defense/Boken – drilled 1, 2 & 4 of boken for class. Practice makes perfect.

Zen Shotokai: 013

Trained Basics/Kihon tonight. Then stayed around for 20:00 after just talking about Karate. Covered Mi Bo Sey and did a full round of Basics with Push-ups.

Cannot believe i’m actually doing this.

Zen Shotokai: 010

Started with some basic memory work drills, wrong answers were 5x push-ups.

Then drilled Taigo 1 and 2 and Bo 1. Then worked through a round of basics. Had one student drill his self defense then the other do Kata in the parking lot.

Zen Shotokai: 006

Drilled basics really quickly then got into stances. Worked Taigo 1, fine tuning things and adding in “hands” as well with one student. Bo 1 with staying low. The worked hard and had a good class I think.

Zen Shotokai: 003

Worked with 2 students. Started with Basic Kicks then Basics from Attention Position.

Worked one the beginnings of Tiago 1 and took the other farther along with Bo 1.

Good night. Enjoyed it.
