Had a pretty good learning class in Kata tonight. We worked Taigo 3 extensively after working on basic kicks and stretching. I fumbled with the Kata most of the evening but I think it’s sunk in enough for me to practice on my own and drill it.
We warmed up with some good T-band stretching and holding chambers of kicks for timed intervals. It’s amazing how tough that is. Then we hit the bags hard for a solid 30 minutes with combos. I worked hard to keep the cardio up on high intensity.
Started Nun-chucks tonight. Some basic spins and getting used to how it all feels. Fun stuff. Then spent and hour doing “bag work” that is practicing basic kicks slow, focusing on form then finishing up by keeping form and showing power kicking the bag.
Basics. Finally worked through all the basics I need for getting to the next rank test. Pretty complex movements to memorize, i’m sure they’re not that tough, they just feel that way to me for today. Basics seem pretty fun so far though.
Worked basic kicks to warm up. Man, haven’t done those in a while like I should be. Definitely need to work them back into my workout routine.
Full Dojo fight class tonight. The past few weeks training definitely paid off. We went for 2 hours straight and yes I was exhausted but I wasn’t totally done like last time. I’m starting to see some real gains in speed and kicking ability, so much fun.
We lined up in 2 kick circles one the first hour and one the second hour. Those both suck and are awesome at the same time. Going to miss classes the rest of the week after tomorrow though.
