Tonight was a great workout, we started out with some basic punch/kick combinations to get warmed up, focusing for a brief bit on side snap kick. After that, we moved on to partner training with the attacking side doing reverse punch, jab, then stepping out with the front leg and doing a backfist strike at the 45 degree angle followed by a reverse punch. The defending side got to block everything, and then we got to race to the reverse punch at the end. Talk about fun!
After a few rounds of that, it was kata time! We got to self-train on a kata (I picked Gankaku since I’m bad at it) and after that I was tapped to work on Empi with one of the Shodans that was visiting the dojo. After that, we did a few at full speed together and it was time for class to be over. My Empi kata felt great tonight… snappy and powerful. I suppose I can thank Kangeiko and a good week of R&R for that. More soon!
