Basics, stretch, forms (Choong Jang), one-steps (some white, lo blue belt), sparring (three rounds, felt really tired, but was doing ok). We had three new adult white belts in tonight, which was great to see.1/23/2018MA TrainingI went to the school this morning do a solo workout. I did Do-Kang 1 and 2 (our "black belt basics"), Chon Ji, Dan Gun, and Bo Chung forms, then did some bag work. I worked on some offensive footwork, moving around the bag and working with both round kicks and spin side kicks. Then I did the footwork up and down the floor, getting a feel for it. Finished with a stretch. About 10:15 - 11:00 am this morning. https://www.haysgym.comhttp://www.sunyis.com/https://www.aikidoofnorthwestkansas.com
singularity6 Posted February 17, 2018 Posted February 17, 2018 I'll chime in here for a change!Training has been kinda back-burnered for me, as the wife and I bought a house, and I had a busy start to the semester (teaching 20 credits, which is 4 more than I'm used to, and one of the classes is online, which is a first for me.) Needless to say, I'm a little out of shape when it comes to TKD. But... the new house does have space to train, and I finally got a chance to take advantage!5-10 Minute Warm-up: 40 pushups, 40 situps, 80 step-ups (keep my knees from blowing out), 150 punches in horse-stance, 50 windmills.20 Minut Basic Techniques: Practiced each of the techniques up and down the length of my basement. Some in back stance, some in front stance.10 Minute Combinations: Strung together various techniques up and down the length of the basement, while trying to maintain a variety of hand/foot techniques and stances.10 Minute Forms: Carefully reviewed all my forms, trying to pay attention to execution and proper stances. This was challenging, as my basement has a very low ceiling and barely enough room to move laterally in my forms.30 Minute Stretching: Went through the complete battery of my stretches, from head to to. This included the use of a simple leg stretcher.5 Minute Shin-Conditioning: Tortured my shins with a 1.25" dowel. 5th Geup Jidokwan Tae Kwon Do/Hap Ki Do(Never officially tested in aikido, iaido or kendo)
bushido_man96 Posted February 17, 2018 Author Posted February 17, 2018 Thanks for chiming in, singularity. I hear ya when it comes to having training on the backburner. Its been a rough go for me, getting maybe one class a week in. The solo workouts are going to become the key for me, if I can get to them.Its also great that you have room to train at home. It never seems to be ideal as we would want it to be, but its better than nothing. https://www.haysgym.comhttp://www.sunyis.com/https://www.aikidoofnorthwestkansas.com

Basics, forms, one-steps, sparring. I took some extra time with basics, because we have a few new students working into the class, and wanted to focus on a few things with them. For sparring, after a few rounds of standard sparring, I did some situational sparring, once allowing only front leg kicks, and a few rounds allowing only back leg kicks. It broke the students out of their habits a little bit, and made them think differently and more creatively. https://www.haysgym.comhttp://www.sunyis.com/https://www.aikidoofnorthwestkansas.com
singularity6 Posted February 23, 2018 Posted February 23, 2018 I made a mistake when throwing my instructor last night... and paid for it. Whatever happened on that mat caused me to jam my toe. I was going to get a workout in my basement today, but that's probably not gonna happen due to the pain (hurts with any pressure.)Fortunately it snowed, and we live on a corner lot, so that'll be my workout today! 5th Geup Jidokwan Tae Kwon Do/Hap Ki Do(Never officially tested in aikido, iaido or kendo)
bushido_man96 Posted February 23, 2018 Author Posted February 23, 2018 That's bad luck there, hopefully it feels better in a day or two.2/22/2018Taught TKD Class: 6:00 - 7:15 pm. I had 15 students in class tonight, which was really great. It made things a little tighter for basics and sparring, but having a big class is really enjoyable. Basics, forms, one-steps, and then sparring. I split the sparring up and let the kids go first, so they had some more room to move, then brought the adults back out and kept all of them on the floor for a few rounds. This made them have to try to be creative with their footwork, moving in tighter quarters. I split the kids off and gave the adults some room for a few rounds after that, and then I brought everyone back onto the floor to work some footwork sparring drills. A really good class overall, I thought. https://www.haysgym.comhttp://www.sunyis.com/https://www.aikidoofnorthwestkansas.com

After the sparring rounds, we worked on some more footwork and countering drills.3/12/2018Strength TrainingPress: warm-ups: 45x5x2, 65x5, 95x3; work sets: 120x5, 120x5, 120x5.Lat Pull-downs: 130x12, 130x12, 130x12.Barbell Curls: 60x10, 60x10, 60x10.Taught TKD Class: 6:00 - 7:10 pm. Basics (14 in class tonight, so really moved through them), forms, one-steps, sparring. After finishing one-steps, I went over one of the orange belt one-steps that involves a trip and then face punch to finish. A lot of the students tend to want to get lazy, and the attackers just fall down for the defenders, because they know the takedown is coming. So, I made it a point to focus on making the defender perform the takedown, and the attacker working on falling properly. This is especially important for the lower ranks early on. For sparring, I did shorter rounds, and rotated them through often, but didn't give them much of a break between matches, just to keep them moving and fighting through being tired. https://www.haysgym.comhttp://www.sunyis.com/https://www.aikidoofnorthwestkansas.com
