Karate Session

Managed to fit in a session tonight too as other commitments were cancelled. Usual Kihon etc. Didn't get called out with the rest of the class to do my kata which was a little surprising since i am meant to be grading mid March! Multiple rounds of kumite too, both jiyu ippon and jiyu kumite

Saturday 21 February

BJJ Session

This session was all closed guard based. Firstly worked a few rounds of drilling a standing pass to closed guard. Then worked cross collar chokes, a few variations, starting with 'standard one' then also one using the opponents lapel as a gripping point. Key detail for the second one was to make sure and 'shave their face' with arm before taking second grip as it made the choke a lot tighter. Couple of rounds to finish then done

Monday 23rd February

Karate Session

Same session as per usual: grade required kihon, kata and then kumite. Nothing too exciting to report tbh

Monday 2nd March

Karate Session

This class was warm up, then kihon then lots of kata. Tbh was not very happy as i am meant to be grading in two weeks and got literally 0 comments from the instructor. As we are a small class this is a little concerning - when i think about it it has also been the same for the last couple of weeks. Hopefully it is that i am just so amazing (lol i doubt that) but i should be getting more feedback

Tuesday 3rd March

Conditioning workout

quick one here. EMOM ABC complex with 2 x 16kg KB. did 16 sets just to get a little movement in

Wednesday 4th MArch

Karate Session

Getting more annoyed now tbh. Literally did not get called up for kata when everyone got called up by grade (was only one left out with no comment made). Then when the entire class got up and ran through kata from Kihon kata to Bassai Dai the instructor literally stood behind me and faced away.

Update Re: Karate

unfortunately due to multiple things i have decided to change clubs (so wont be sitting grading!). It has become quite obvious that the instructor (for whatever reason) is not treating me fairly. Not going to go into details here but i would prefer to change clubs and wait a year or more to sit grading than stay in this one now. It is a shame but to use the awful phrase "it is what it is"
