Ok, back on track a bit today. I went to the park with the little one, and did a bit of messing around. I hand-walked the monkey bars a few times, and did some shoulder shrug things where I sat down, grabbed above my head, and hoisted my body up in the sitting position three times. I was kind of suprised I could do this. Then, I took my fighting stance, and did some punching while standing the sand:

Jab x 10

Cross x 10

Lead hook x 10

Rear uppercut x 10

Then I switched and did the other side. I really made sure to focus on my hip movement and foot rotation, and really started digging some holes with the balls of my feet.

I finished up with some work on the not-so-heavy bag; about 15 minutes worth. I worked regular punching combos from each stance, and also did some work punching from a hands-down position, doing 10 jabs on each side, and then 10 uppercuts on each side. I also worked the elbows a little bit.

TKD Class: 6:15 - 7:00. We got started late because of the Little Lions testing before our class. They always tend to run over a bit. However, I made good use of the arriving early to work on my forms a bit. My Yoo Sin hyung needs some polishing. What frustrates me is that I can do it on my own, and do it pretty well. When I do it in class, it seems like it just goes to crap. But, I'll keep at it. As for sparring tonight, I sparred our 4th dan, and probably did the best that I have in a while against him. Not a bad night.
