141 & 142

Did a back to back night tonight.

1st Class: First up we worked basic kicks 2 each on each side. Then Taigo 1 Kata for a couple of rounds. Then we drilled Bo 1 and Bo 2 for the remainder of class.

2nd Class: We did basic kicks again, this time 4 of each. Then we drilled Bo 1 and Bo 2 until the end of class. Fine tuning things and really getting it in our brains.

Great night. But tired now.

Training/Practice

Got up at 6am and ran 3 miles. Almost PR’ed it, but didn’t… derp.

Went to the dojo for some practice time on the floor. Nothing beats practicing in the dojo. So much focus.

Kata & Weapons

Worked through Taigo 1, Taigo 2, Taigo 3 and Pinan 1 then drilled Bo 1 & 2 all class long. I definitely needed it. It felt good too.

Run
Got in a pretty wimpy 2 miles run/walk before class. It was hotter than I first though, so I was wiped out.

Kata. Worked Naihanchin after warming up with some basic kick drills. I got through it, both sides of the kata; left and right. The mirror image side is pretty hard on your brain but I feel really good about my progress with it.
