The Martial Artists' Training Log

[Erin]

This morning: It's still early, and we got new carpet in the school, so I have been working my arms moving stuff and hauling stuff to the dumpster. At lunch I plan on taking a nice brisk walk to get my heart pumping. Going to find an empty classroom to work my kata for upcoming tournament.

Class tonight with the boys

- substitute instructors* tonight and David not as cooperative as Patrick, so a tougher session; I worked with David and one instructor, while other instructor worked with Patrick and a girl who joined in on the class

- concentrated on Pyung Ahn Cho Dan (each boy performed three times with guidance during the class)

- self-defense techniques

- Patrick did extra, working with the girl who joined in, holding the kick shield for one another as they practiced different kicks

*Instructors the boys know and like, but one thing out of the ordinary, and you can't tell when their special needs will kick in more strongly.

Week 4, Day 2: 20, 25, 20, 20, 28 = 113. Even though it is the first day of the week, I jumped into day 2 because it has been giving me fits, and I can get through day 1 ok. On Wednesday, I'll do day 2 again. Its still a bugger to get through, and I had a looong rest before doing the last set.
