Combat Hapkido: 2:00 - 3:00. We went over the entire red belt curriculum today, just to get a solid review in. I also did lots of reps on BOB, from a natural stance, doing a half-step to the outside of him, and delivering a palm heel strike to the chin and getting the other hand up into a guarding position. It makes for a good distraction-evasion move, and we use a lot of that in Combat Hapkido.

TKD: While my daughter was at track practice today, I did some forms work. I did the first 6 forms, and in between each, I spent time duck walking around near the ground while pushing trucks around with my son.

Martial Arts

Combat Hapkido: 8:00 - 9:00. We really slowed things down today, and worked on some of the finer details of the techniques; for me, the grab and distraction sections. I really want the techniques to be tight, so I like to take some time on these things. We spent the last 15 minutes on some trapping.
