2007 Workout #62: Basics and a Sparring Footrace…

Today’s class was a warmup of basics, followed by a very fun sparring drill. We did 3-5 time attack and slow sparring, however after a few times down and back we did sprints. Down to the stage and back, around the gym, and so on.

After each set of windsprints, we returned immediately back to sparring drills. wanted to simulate fighting, running from the fight, and then having them catch up and causing you to fight some more. It was a good time, and it reminded me firmly why I hate running.

The class ended up with a total killer ab workout courtesy of . The workout was only 3.5 minutes long, but it consisted of variations on planks, which was so hard that I don’t think anyone completed it without some extra resting.

Good workout, starting to feel more like my old karate self again. More good karate stuff coming soon!
