Class at night with my sons.

A scheduling change has been introduced this week by our instructor, allowing for continued individual attention even though the special needs program has somewhat grown.

Thanks for getting back on PPCT, tallgeese. You have had a bunch more exposure than I have with it. Your reply is insightful.

We did front leg front and round kicks as well, 1 set each. 10 in each set. Then worked orange, yellow, and some of my red belt material. We really broke down the arm bars in orange belt, and spent time on some details.

No prob, bushido man.

Today-

1 mile run

long ab workout

4 rounds of:

1/4 mile run

30 back extensions

Gotta take it easy on the lifting this week. My right shoulder is screaming at me with it's yearly bout of tendonitis (everyone hurry up and buy stock in Advil). No upper body pressing or crossfits that involve the upper body. Might lay off the puching as well. Man this stinks.

Class at night with my sons. Greater one-on-one emphasis being given them is a necessity.
