then 4 directional punches. dunno if other schools do it, but its pretty cool.

then combos for mae geri, mawashi geri and yoko geri. then moving foward with mae geri, yoko geri, mawashi geri and ushiro geri in 1 move. then the same 4 kicks with 1 leg on the spot.

kata of choice (i did heian yondan). followed by bunkai of heian go dan.

then the kumite, ippon kumite was 3 each of oi tsuki jodan and chudan, mae geri, mawashi geri yoko geri and ushiro geri. then again on the other side.
