2005 Workout #117: Aaaaaand…. launch!

Tonight was an interesting workout. We started out by continuing the trend of intensity training with an old classic: front stance being held down in place by a partner. After trading front kicks and lunge punches with partners, we attempted to do the “spring in the ass” style sparring drills where you went forward as hard as you can and then quickly threw it in reverse to avoid your opponents attack.

I got across from Erbe-san, and we were unloading on each other which is always satisfying.

The second class started a bit late, but quickly turned into sparring combinations. For some reason I found the spring in my butt and was launching myself across the floor (almost as far as in some cases!) and having a damned good time doing it. A few lightbulb moments came from tonights workout… mostly the fact that I have the tools to be INSANE in kumite like Sensei Brewer and Sensei Hartman. I just didn’t think so until the last ten minutes of class tonight.

So let it be known, , tonight I was educated in a manner of sparring that might just destroy us both. I just need to practice it…. mwhahahahaha…..
