Basics. Today was basics. I went in with a really heavy mind, lots of things going on right now both at home and in business, so I was mentally cluttered. I had to really work to focus today and Funakoshi’s 6th rule really came to be real for me today.

The mind must be set free. - Gichin Funakoshi

We warmed up by working some basics in place so we could review (I sincerely needed it) then did a round or two and broke off into small groups. I got to work with someone who had been out for a long time and basically lead him through several rounds. It really helped me focus and get better on them. There’s nothing quite like having to teach someone something to truly learn it yourself.

I got nailed for a couple sets of pushups in the final round we did all together. Better luck next time.
