Fight Class: Great class tonight, we jumped rope for 10 minutes – torture. Then we worked/drilled side kicks. Got in about 4 good rounds and fought just about everyone that showed up tonight. I like the mix of conditioning and fighting like this.
Fight class. Easily becoming my favorite thing in Karate. Sensei has ratcheted up the intensity in this class specifically and I can’t get enough. Though I realize i’m probably the worst person in the Dojo when it comes to jumping rope.
I started off the day with a Rushfit disc. MMA conditioning, punches and groundwork. Pretty tough.
Started off the day by doing a Rushfit set. 30 minutes of core work. It was surprisingly brutal.
Then went to fight class tonight. Sensei led class and it was high intensity as expected. There were only 3 of us in class so we did full rounds plus he threw in jogging and plyo in between fights. Then after 2 rounds of fights we did another set where for 2 minutes one of us could only punch and the other could only kick. It was way tough to get through it all.
My shin is on fire from blocking a big kick in that final bout.
Fight class. We had a few people show up who don’t normally and I had a blast sparring with everyone. All ranges represented tonight.
Went to a Sunday Team Dojo fighting practice. It started out with some quick laps and plyo-box jumps sets. Then fighting in rounds for 45 minutes. There were kids in the class and I had a great time working with them to try to inspire them to keep moving and think through their attacks. It was great seeing one little dude get fairly fired up and try some things he’d never tried before like kick to punch combos.
Once I got back home I hit a fairly easy paced 2 mile run. Just to finish the day off with 2 good hours of workout.
