2007 Workout #14: Aaah…

Today’s workout was really refreshing for me today. We did all of the Heian and Tekki katas, followed by the required black belt katas for Sandan. And a Sochin, for good measure.

We then went into sparring drills similar to what we did on Thursday night. Then the free sparring. We got some really good insights on sparring mentality from … and all those ingrained “fear responses” that we have that pop up without us realizing it. Now that we’re looking critically at it, we should be able to minimize that extra wasted effort and useless techniques.

Good stuff!
