2008 Workout #60: Solid basics and partner drills…

Tonight was a good solid basic workout for the first class. For reasons unknown (but probably related to my shoddy attendance record lately) I was having trouble keeping my center tight and my balance.

That being said, I was paying special attention to my stance during the first class. I’ve been working on getting my rear foot turned more forward and pushing off without my heel pulling up. All this effort earned me a C- from , but I’ll take it. It’s better than a D!

The second class was more basics, followed by partner drills. We used some less ordinary blocking combination in order to work on our body action, a lot of good discussion was had. I have some wicked awesome broken blood vessels coming up in my shoulders for some reason that may or may not have involved repeated backfist strikes.

I love karate!
