Kata: We had a pretty good class tonight. I’m pretty wrecked from the weekend though. My hands are torn up pretty good.
Started with 3x of each kick to get the sweat rolling. Then went into basic Kata as a group. Taigo 1, 2, 3 & Pinan 1. Then we split into groups and worked on Konku for the rest of class. I did rep after rep and tried to work on things. My last run was decent enough I think. Still needs mega-work though.
Did some filming of Kata this morning. Got through Taigo 1, 2, 3, Pinan 1 and Too San. Put out some work and felt good.
5:30 am workout. We warmed up, then got to work.
Drew Kata from the card deck, so it was random.

Brown & Blackbelt class. Kata. We did a warm up holding 3# weights and drilling Taigo 1, 2, & 3. Then worked Seisan and Sieunchin specifically trying to work in more hip rotation and power from that twist. Then we broke off into groups and drilled Seisan and Sieunchin. Feet only and hands only. Then I did it with my eyes closed. I did both kata back to back once too. Oh man, that’s a cardio buster for sure right there. Very full class tonight, lots of work. It felt great after a long sluggish weekend stuck indoors.
Kata: We worked basic kicks. I felt really good doing kicks tonight. I felt rested and stretched. +1 for not coming into class completely depleted.
Then we worked basic Kata together as one large group. Taigo 1, feet only then Taigo 1 hands and feet a few times. To get up a good sweat.
Then we grouped off and the group I was in worked on Seisan. We were largely working on teaching the Green Belts a good dose of it. It was great. Then we got to see some people from each of our teams perform their Kata on their own.
Thomas was called up to perform Giin. He did so great. He pretty much just learned half of it in that one class then went out and nailed it. So awesome and proud to be in class with him.
