Tonight we did kata all night long (with some application work from the various kata thrown in). I have to say it was more of a workout than I was expecting. I was a little show off and decided to try to the first three kata during the warmup instead of just the first one that he had me working on before break. So he had me do the first three kata again and again and again 1-2-3-1-2-3. I must have done them each ten times. My heart was racing and my face was beat red by the end of it. I even had to use my inhaler while I was walking to my car (I usually do take it *before* I exercise, so don't get on me about that-- it's just the previous few classes didn't have me break a sweat, so I thought I wouldn't need it). I'm really out of shape...
