19th July 2016
Class began with light sparring. Set a fast temp for the rest of the evening. Coming down with a cold and it made training harder than previous classes.
Kihon included knuckle push ups on blocks. Clearly something I need to develop!
Bag work session felt good and strike strength beginning to build. New sparring mitts worked well.
Finished up with kata then focus pad back kicks. Need to practice form. Sensai's advice:
Practice twice as much on the less favoured side.
Don't turn too far
Look over shoulder and focus sight on where the kick will land.
Kick no more than one arm length back from target.
Try to keep body upright to maintain balance, force and assertive stance. Easy to be pushed off balance leaning away from opponent.
Reflection
Back kicking technique needs practice but let that develop during class. Focus on general cardio, flexibility and fitness first.
Need to establish a pattern of regular cardio / strength training
Consider the 100 push ups program + rope + stretching
Return to. Cycling during midday kid sleeps on the weekend
