Reviewed yesterday's material. Added intermediate range footwork. Covered defensive patterns and placed them in context of the footwork. Then went into strike integration and live drilling.

The day ended with a functional trapping workshop.

Excellent.

Bought the UFC trainer game for kinect on xbox. i was not expecting much at all, but I must say, it is a LOT better than I thought.

Just off the fitness test I came in at the lower end of "Advanced" - measure as many in 1min of pushups, sit-ups, jumping jacks, and then a measure of heart rate.

Set the cutting training program for 30 days and gave the first workout a go. Actually not too bad!!!! Had me in a sweat and my abs burning.

Might start a post on this topic.....

Taught TKD: 6:00 - 7:30 pm. Basics, focused time with white belts. Forms, had white belts focus on footwork/stances, and hand chamber positions. Orange and blue belts I had focus on being strong, and showing more desire. One-steps, focused on orange belt kids, not lollygagging around and working through the one-steps more quickly. Extra, did kicking on the Powerline bags, focusing on side kicks and getting technical feedback from kicking the bags.
