First one-on-one lesson with Sensei. Worked through Taigo One footwork and full movement, what felt like 100 times. The cool part was the interaction between Sensei and his Sensei who called while we were working. He just put him on speaker phone and included him. Very fun!

I’m feeling more confident now after this lesson than before going into rank test next month. Still a ways to go before I feel ready. Next up is a written test and a 5-8 page paper all due before the 10th of February. Time to get to work.

After class I hit the gym for 2 hours and did some power lifting for the first half and then kick-boxing for the 2nd half. Did some power/push kicks to work on actually using them.

Tonight is the boy’s belt awards ceremony, we’ll find out if either one passed their last test and also watch some board breaking. It’s going to be a fun evening in the Dojo.
