Running is something that is done because it has to be. Not because it's ever fun.

today-

8, 2 min rounds on the mitts. First working slipping the jab, cross to each side. Add counter with jab, lead elbow. Move to slip both ways, jab, lead elbow, rear upper cut. Finish mitt series with the above drill, add a hook by the mitt holder; the response is then a double leg takedown. This uses the level change of the shot to protect from the hook.

4, 3 min rounds of light sparring. Worked good form and follow through with each strike. Drilled the slip live and focused on integrating other coverages with it. Worked on getting the double leg to flow off of strikes.

Drilled 1/2 butterfly position. Covered sweep from there and triangle.

30 min free roll.

Evening...

Aikdio class: 7:30 - 9:30. We did some different warm-ups and stretches tonight, as we had a student from Europe that did some things differently. We also did some different sensitivity/connection exercises. From there, ukemi practice, and I focused on my breakfalls for the most part. Technique work was spent on things that are going to be done for a demo coming up, and that was ok. I learned some things, and helped some newer students with some things, too.
