Thanks, tallgeese. I thought that it would be kind of a way for me to shake things up. Random book grabbing.

I did some of the techniques in the sand at the park. Advancing and retreating in front stances in the sand is really different. Sometimes the environment causes you to shorten your stances to maintain stability.

[tallgeese]

Yeah, any kind of work on sand is great. Makes you work extra hard.

50 squats

21 pullups

At the park again, working solo, using Tae Kwon Do, The Ultimate Reference Guide to the World's Most Popular Martial Art as a reference point again:

Straight punching: sitting stance. 10 each arm.

Side punching: from sitting stance. 10 each side.

Jab: fighting stance. 10 each side.

Reverse punch (cross): fighting stance. 10 each side.

Double punch (jab/cross combo): fighting stance. 10 combos from each side.

Knife hand strike (upset): front stance, advancing. 10 each side.

Spear hand strike: front stance, advancing. 10 each side.

Side kick: I used the method discussed/demonstrated in the Side Kick thread here. Stepping together and kicking from a fighting stance. 10 each side. This has always been a tough kick for me, and it was tough today. Made my hips sore, too.

Round kick: back leg, advancing. 10 each leg.[/url]
