Fight Class: I went into class feeling very rested having missed two earlier Karate classes this week. But in practice I was sluggish and very much rooted to the floor. Stiff and not fluid – not relaxed. I had the best of intentions to work on things i’d learned in my previous fight seminar but no dice tonight. I don’t think I did badly, I just didn’t focus nor work on things like I thought I would.
Better get my stuff together better for next time…
Fight Class tonight. The first Thursday fight class i’ve attended in a while. I like these smaller classes. Where there’s 4-5 people doing 4-5 rounds, you get to really get to know someone and practice certain things/aspects to your game.
Long class tonight. Started off with Nun-chucks and finished the Kata. I think i’m pretty good at these things after all.
Then fighting for 2 hours. Got in plenty of rounds with everyone. Getting ready for a sparring seminar Saturday that looks like it’s going to be really awesome. I worked on my timing and 2 specific combos tonight and feel pretty good about them now.
Back in the Dojo tonight, after a solid 2 weeks off. Pain…
Started off working the Nun-chucks in weapons instruction for a half hour. Then we got right into a 2 hour fight-class. Warmed up with jumping rope for 15 minutes, which will really get your blood pumping. We did about 5 rounds of continuous sparring without any real breaks in between rounds then after a short break did some 2 on 1 sparring.
A very hearty welcome back indeed tonight. I’m going to be dead sore in the morning for sure.
Back in class after a few days off. First up was nun-chucks starting to work on the first form kata. Then for 2 hours, we had fight class. I tried to focus on my timing and mobility when sparring, I think it went well.
Physical conditioning is definitely something I need to push harder on. I did well for the 2 hours, but started to get very tired in the final 15 minutes or so I’d like to be able to make it through and still have plenty of gas left.
