TKD class: 6:00 - 7:00. Did a reverse punch, back leg front kick, land forward back leg side kick in basics; I thought it would be kind of funky, but really it was a decent movement set. Good practice for getting the chamber around for the side kick. Sparring was ok tonight. I decided before class I was going to work on sparring from range, keeping people away with side kicks or front leg front kicks, and try to set up from there. I fought more side on, and had some decent counters, and only crammed in once or twice. I still need some work, though. Stretched after class.
