2008 Workout #61: Road Trip!

With the Mapleton dojo being closed this week, the Saturday morning breakfast club took a road trip to Mackinaw to train with Sensei Evans. It was a very basics-focused workout, most of our time was spent going up and down the floor focusing on different aspects of body dynamics, hip action, and movement.

As the class progressed Sensei Evans, , and Sensei Quinn took turns exploring different aspects of basic technique and we all took turns applying those ideas to our basics. Sensei Evans asked , and I to each take a small area of our training and teach a little of it to everyone. I taught a bit about extending the shoulder and keeping the pullback elbow tight toward the body during lunge punch, and I think it went very well. Everyone else provided constructive feedback on our teaching and I thought it was a nice addition to our standard workout.

It was a really good time!
