Basics: Was able to work with another Shodan for ~25:00 on drilling through basics. Good stuff, helped a ton. Then regrouped with the main class and then drilled again for ~3 rounds. Would have done a few push-ups for sure, but overall i’m feeling decent about basics again.
2nd Class: Self Defense/Boken – drilled 1, 2 & 4 of boken for class. Practice makes perfect.
