TKD class: 6:00 - 7:00. Basics, form, one-steps. Good review on the one-steps, but my knees were screaming at me, and hurt my performance a bit. Before class, I worked on the inside crescent kick/hand slap from sitting stance, trying to get that piece down. Went down the floor a few times to get some reps in. It may be coming around. I've also found a serious fault with one of the orange belt one-steps, especially doing it against taller, bigger guys. A slight adjustment, although not necessarily approved, fixed the issue.

Proud dad moment of the day: When I got home from class, I saw my 5 year old son on the back deck, holding a gun-shaped piece of old fence wood. He was hiding behind the BBQ grill, moving strategically, using cover, and poking around shooting. I asked what he was doing when he came in, and he said he was playing cops. So proud. Wife made some comment about being blessed to have a few boys.

There's not much more fun in life than hitting your friends in the kidneys and back of the head and eating elbows.

3/26

1.5 miles

abs

chest/ tris

[MasterPain]

Some grappling focusing on top control mostly.

Some gi grappling, wondering why I couldn't move.

About 7 rounds of progressively harder MMA with Liverpunch. Phrenologists tell me I am better at avoiding right punches than left hooks and elbows. Scored a couple nice takedowns though.

My body tells me to get the redman suit for my birthday and practice kata in it.
