It takes around 40 minutes. I try to get through all the empty handed forms in one go, then take a minute or two and do the weapons katas.

TKD:

Pre-class: Stretched out, then did Yoo Sin 2 times, once was a walkthrough, and second was at speed. Se Jong once.

Class: 6:00 - 7:00. Basics, forms review, including Yoo Sin again, and one-steps.

Post-class: took some more kicks to the legs, and then checked leg kicks.

I didn't feel connected in class tonight. It felt like I was having trouble hooking my upper and lower body together for any power. And about halfway through class, my base (legs) were gone. That was a crappy feeling.
