Weapons: We started off with drilling kicks. 4 each nice and slow, then one at full speed. Both sides. We then split off and worked on Sai Kata for most of the class. It felt great, I very much love Sai. Then before the end of class we drilled kicks again, 2x each.
Evening adult class. We started with some PT. Running ~10 laps with a 15# medball. Then rounds of push ups. I think about 50 in all. Not a bad workout. Then we did Taigo 1, just the footwork part for ~5 times. Then drilled Taigo 1 full for ~3 times. We then drilled Seisan ~3 times. Loved class a lot tonight. Good hard work and pushed a bit.
Early morning session. We warmed up, then ran through each Kata once. In between every 2-3 Kata we did a round of Cindy.
Next time we need more Cindy, talked about a ascending ladder.
Kata – Brown & Blackbelt class. We did stances for :30 and then :60. Zenkutsu Dachi, Kukusu and Crane Stance. My legs were on FIRE, but it was good work. I feel like the holding stances helped me progress. Then when I was good and warn out we did Konku. Got about half way done, down to the drop to the floor. Pretty hard stuff tonight.
I live for classes like tonight.
