Today’s class was Kumite/Sparring. Two hours of non-stop workout and rounds of sparring. Started off with a kick-circle, where we exchanged kicks for 30 minutes with each other. Ending with what Sensei calls “challenges”.

For some reason the physical aspect of this all hit me hard tonight. I can take it, I even enjoy it. Pushing myself hard is like a hobby for me now. I just want to get over the hump and be able to do nights like this more often with little recovery or prep time.
