2006 Workout #18: My Core! She fails!

Tonight was awful.

We got treated to the same core building workout that graced the dojo on Thursday night. It was basically hovers crafted by Lucifer himself, where we rotated 90 degrees one way and did kicking suspended in the air, and then the other direction for more of the same.

We did standard hovers, forward and backwards circles with each leg (which my Dad described as Pilates from Hell), Front Kicks and Round Kicks. In between these sets, we did combinations toward the 45 degree angles. By the time we were done, I was really feeling my oblique abdominal muscles… I thank my recent exploration of Sochin for making this type of training a little more bearable.

During the second class, we practiced for this weekend’s demo. and I have been tapped to perform Sochin. I’m looking forward to it quite a lot. I didn’t get any chance to practice Sochin tonight due to our late arrival at the dojo and the busy nature of the second class. That is OK, I came to a conclusion at work while talking to my good buddy … its not really a race. My goal says that I do 2000 Sochin this year, and I want to make sure that I get most out of each kata. If that means having dry workouts like this every once in awhile, so be it.
