Tasha and I braved the snow to make it to the gym, where we met up with PW. He and I had a good karate workout, starting out with standing basics. We quickly knocked out 600 techniques: punching, blocking (rising, inward, outward, downward), and front kicks. After that we did front stance training where I held him down in a good front stance while he did punches for a minute each leg, and then he did the same for me.
After that, we did some partner sparring drills, where we working on using different blocks. I attacked with sanbon tsuki and he did a rising block and two mid-level blocks. After he did that for awhile, I had him do rising block, inward block, and downward block to show the difference in how the blocks can cross the attacker up and make it harder for them to attack back.
We closed the workout with his kata (Heian Shodan) once before we were done. Good workout, more soon!
