Training Notes

Last night’s training was an informal session with a focus on sparring techniques. Also did turn-for-turn counters and high kick blocking technique.
Sempai’s advice was to spend time practicing some basic combos:
1) three punches + kick
2) mae geri + 3 punches
3) mae geri + 3 punches + sweep

Reflections from training:
1) practice left and right sided techniques (focus on weaker side to develop). Both sides should be equally strong.
2) move into board swinging attacks (closer to opponent) to deflect power from kicks and punches. This feels awkward makes sense the most force in a punch or kick is delivered at the extremity of the limb.
3) continue to focus on breathing through punches, kicks (kumite, kihon and kata). It will become 2nd nature eventually but need to be conscious of breath for the moment.

Unfortunately a right calf injury sustained on Tuesday night is still persisting, slightly aggravated from sparring work. Will rest over the weekend and appraise on Tuesday morning. Might need to ask Sensai for training modifications for a week or two.
