Kicks & Fighting: We mostly did kicks. We worked 2x of each kick like we normally do to warm up. Then we did Front Kick up and down the floor, then round kick up and down the floor and finally side kick or ‘pull kick’ up and down the floor. Then we paired up and did about 5 rounds of fights where we could use hand techniques for anything but attacks and only score hits with kicks. Finally to close out class I did a “no pads” fight with Sempai first one to 5 points wins. Great fight and great time doing it. I thoroughly enjoyed that and wanted more.

Kicks + Basics. Went heavy on the kicks tonight. Did 5x of each kick, each side. Then we ran through the first 3 sets of Basics, with a round or two on each.

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.

Spent the day on the road and got back into town with just enough time to get to the Dojo. We worked lower body: squats, deadlifts, calf raises. Then hit the bags for kick combos the rest of the time with a set of core work in between rounds.
