Basics. Today was “Instructor’s Choice” on the calendar. I went in with an open mind - without thinking ahead to anything we’d be doing, I just brought all my stuff. Sensei chose basics. My WORST subject…

I think I did 142 push ups in class today. Literally doing them until I fell on my stomach from my arms giving out. I stayed as mentally tough as I could and focused on getting to the next basic each time. I was able to regroup and deliver a final round without any basics in the end.

Great class though. I left feeling like I had a good wave of mental energy, sort of a mental cleanse if you will - i’ve been needing that for a while.
