2008 Workout #8: Slow, arduous progress…

Today’s workout was our standard Saturday fare, but we had a few more people this time. We did normal basics, gyaku kihon, and stance training. I was able to handle two sets of kibadachi with on my back: 32 seconds the first set and 28 the second.

We all were feeling a bit off today… for me my stance was weak and my timing was all off. Even though, the down times are part of the improving process and we muscled through them. We did a few different stance drills today, one of which involved wearing me like a backpack. Thankfully, I’m a little on the light side and there wasn’t really anyone there that I could’ve had reciprocate that type of training.

We briefly contemplated going outside and training in the frigid weather, but we elected not to for the sake of… well… continued life. It was a good workout today, despite the difficulties.
