Tasha was working today, so I ventured out to the rec center to have a karate workout. I got there early and knocked out Bassai Dai and Kanku Dai before Paul arrived, once he showed up we moved into basics. We did some stationary blocking training, and I gave him an introduction to pressing block. Before too long we were discussing distance and timing, and he asked how this can be used in sparring.
I explained to him how shifting in and out with the attack was important, so we went through some distance drills while shifting in sparring stance. The workout was cut short when Paul’s ankle started to bother him from the pressure of shifting, and we opted to call it a short workout instead of risk injuring his ankle further.
It wasn’t the world’s most difficult workout, but I did get a sweat going and that’s all that matters.
