Today’s class was amazing. Great warmup, kicks (I wasn’t on my A game for sure…) then Kata, and Sensei worked in some blocks and punches with me on Taigo 1. Some hard practice and the day was just great. After class, I picked up some fight gear so I can start making the weekly fight class at the Dojo. This looks to be very fun. Hopefully I wasn’t too overexcited looking when Sensei said it was cool to start sparring.
After class, Gio and I hit a quick and strong triple set of weight machines then did some kickboxing training for a good 40 minutes. Long day working out but started the year out strong and exciting.

Class today was working through kicks. My legs were dead and were not responding to me at all. Learned and practiced round kick. Then practiced kata at the end of class and finally successfully completed Taigo 1 in the Dojo. Left feeling pretty good.
Went to the gym with Gio and boxed for about an hour or so.
Totally warn out.
(on a different note, last time I weighed myself I was 240 – down 4lbs.)

Today’s class was another review of self-defense steps. The first set and second set. It’s amazing how it all changes from practicing in the air to on a real person. Firs up though was working on kicks. I did so many half round kicks today i’m going to be sore until next class for sure. The half round is my weakness right now, must be able to do 50 on each side with good balance. Much work to be done.
