TKD class: 6:00 - 7:00. Fairly regular class tonight. We did have a student show up for the college break that is a member of the TKD team from Texas A&M. She said that our class was quite a bit different from what she has been doing. She mainly competes, so they don't do a lot of forms, and the class she is part of is mainly focused on competing.

Class

During class, did "physical fitness" exercises; sparring combinations; some sort of "Round Robin" involving required sparring combos, but I didn't care for it.

After class, had extra help from the assistant instructor on a non-required sparring combo, plus went over newest self-defense techniques to identify where I've needed some "fine-tuning."

Disappointing news: I thought that the dojang wouldn't be open next week on Wednesday, Xmas Eve, but it'll be closed on Monday and Tuesday as well. No lessons for my boys next week; next class for them won't be till January 5.
