Kicks/Basics: Last class before Blackbelt test. We started off with basic kicks. I was not stretched or ready at all so my kicks were crap… gotta make sure I get ready before kicks and such during the test… 🙁
We did basic strikes from a relaxed stance. Focusing in on ‘snapping’ the strike.
Then we did a couple rounds of basics. I did zero push-ups, so feeling positive about basics going into the test. Though I know it will still be tough as hell.
Worked on some striking and kicks in the Wasteland Gym on the heavy bag. Got in a dozen rounds of different combos and kicks. Pretty hard hitting on the bag. I really need this work right now.
Kata: Started out with basic kick drills. Then spent most of class working with a new student on Front Kick and Zenkutsu Dachi & the 5 attributes. It was pretty cool working on something so basic, breaking it down like that.
