High intensity class tonight – half hour warmup of assorted pushups, situps, leg raises, kicks etc and running up and down the hill outside the dojo 10 times. Stretches then sabaki partner drills and takedowns for an hour.
Its not easy -theres that whole Kyokushin-like switch step footwork I’m just not used to. My Uechi theory tells me about sheering, positioning, use of mass. Just have to get my body used to how it feels. But it gets a little more familiar every time. I do like the functionality of this stuff. And I like the challenge of getting my head around it. Huge learning curve.
