2006 Workout #68: Back to the all Sochin diet…

This morning, we all agreed it was time to get back on our kata goals. and I cranked out 20 Sochin, Garls joined us for 10 of them and joined us for 5. I’m starting to incorporate some of the new information that Sensei Quinn provided into my training, and it already feels better in some places.

After Garls left us, he started working on Gankaku. He was working on the application of the jumping double front kick by kicking the mats that are attached to the stage. At one point, he decided to try it as the kata is done and got more air than he was used to. Both his feet went out from under him and he hit the ground flat on his back with a brilliant THUD, Home Alone style. He landed primarily on his elbow and it was already starting to bruise before we left. He’s going to be sore tomorrow.

Kudos to my good buddy for gutting out a few extra kata to get himself to a less ragged number. It was really hot and humid in the dojo today, so summertime training conditions have officially begun.

Also, for those reading: I have completed CDs with Sensei Quinn’s photos, movies, and the mp3 of the Dojo Kun. I have four left from the first batch if anyone wants a copy, I’ll have them with me on Wednesday.
