Ive had some days off to do whatever so i thought id do some more training.

Yesterday- Practicing my front kick. I was told im dragging my foot up instead of making a straightforward linear action. I practiced kicking between a coat hanger to stop that.

Front kick-10am-5pm with breaks.

Made some progress and kinda have a good feeling for it however when used in sparring and kata its reverting back to the old way.

Self training in the dojo- kicking the bag with the front kick.

At the dojo front kick- 5:30pm-7pm

Regular class- 7-8:30pm, was very demanding, did various strength training exercises constantly with no breaks, then in between doing various kata. Its incredibly difficult to keep your technique nice and crisp after you just were doing "gorillas" for a long time.

Today: 9am-10am- Plyometrics

10am-11am-kata

12:30pm- 5pm- biking on some trails and along the highway. Just a couple days ago i went really far outside the city and got lost. I asked some natives and got home just as it was getting dark thankfully.
