2006 Workout #93: The Month of Sochin begins!

Today marked the first workout during which and ‘s annual goal overlaps with ours… this month they strive to do 100 Sochin and 100 Unsu kata.

It was a smallish crowd today… just Darren, , Garls-san, and me. We opened up the morning with 45 minutes or so of Sochin, we all got to 15 kata before they switched to Unsu. I took the opportunity to grab some water and then knock out another 18 Sochin, which brought me to 33 kata in almost exactly two hours (including warmups). I always like the workouts where I get to add a percentage point!

I found out some interesting things today… I did not know that has competed in some tournaments with Sochin and trained intensively in this kata for some time. It shows in his technique, I wish I was as natural in my side kick elbow strike combinations. Also, came with a *can* of Bawls in tow. Apparently you can purchase the cans from Caseys. I wonder if it’s cheaper than the bottles…

It was a good workout today, the weather was simply beautiful for such endeavors. It’s going to be a good month!!
