I took a few minutes and got down on one knee to work some brush/trap drills with my 7 year old son. Worked defending and feeding the strike, which is tough to do, and tried to work in some arm bar or wrist lock take downs.

Forms

Naifanchi Shodan x3

Songham 1 x1

Songham 2 x1

Arm really hurt when busting out moves in Naifanchi Shodan. I really thought my arm was healing a lot better than that.

Testing: 6:30 - 8:00

I worked on a section of Yoo Sin prior to the testing, and stretched out a bit, but didn't have to demo the form. I did work with our new black belt gal who was inquiring about breaking with a round kick. Ah, I felt so proud...and she did break with it. :)

At the end of testing, we had a really nasty, heavy board in with all the others that our instructor didn't force on anyone else, so I took the liberty to discard it and one other board with a spin heel kick. I nailed it on the first try....but boy, was it a hard one! My heel is still sore....and bruised.

And I am now going to start really focusing on testing for my 4th dan, since I have been eligible for quite some time, and think I might have the time to really focus in on it.

Stretch briefly; stretching was painful, as my left heel is severely bruised from the board break on testing night. But, I also had a buddy in the gym lifting, and he was doing dead lifts, and I asked to do just one. Got it.

Dead lift: 315 lbs x1. Barefoot, no belt or straps, and haven't lifted since May, and hadn't done a dead lift since April.

12/1

Drilled reverse arm bar, moved to omoplata, and then to straight arm bar from omo position.

40 min free roll- focus on ankle locks

30 min sparring

Picked up a couple of subtle points on the omo that have been missing from a pretty common element of my game. Can't wait to work it in.
