2006 Workout #116: Caution! Kata Explosion!

With both Sensei’s gone, tonight was up to the nidans. There were only black belts, brown belts, and white belts to begin the class ( showed up a little later to add some color to the group) and Kevin-san elected to run them all through a basic class. The purpose of the night for the remaining black belts was kata.

Erbe, , , and I all were working on various kata, I got 40 Sochin in before the night was over. My legs are tired, but I felt pretty good with my kata tonight. I have crossed the 90% mark and I’m building up a great head of steam to get this goal accomplished in the short term. For some reason the scale of what has been accomplished so far this year was sinking in a little tonight as Mike and I were alternating kata. I don’t know what it was, but tonight had the feeling of being very close to something excellent. This made it very tolerable to keep pushing past the point of fatigue and muscle pain, which was a good thing at this point in the week.

Special kudos go out to for making great progress on learning Tekki Shodan and for for putting up a grotesque amount of his kata for the night! Great job you two!
