TKD Class: 6:00 - 7:00. Quick basics, then Do-Kangs 1, 2, 3, followed by Yoo Sin hyung. After this, we worked on some lower ranking one-steps, and filling in advanced applications with them.

My abs were sore from the kicking class the day before. I also figured out that Do-Kang 2 is great for working on hip rotation.
