Tuesday Teaching Night
Ist class – Janet and her son Matt turned up early so I had extra help – split the huge group into four. The others concentrated on kata with adults and higher grades in vaious groups. I took the white belt kids for focus pad striking and kicking practise. Its like turning on a switch – when these kids have something to hit they put eveything into it.
2nd Class – Hard warmup with striking and kicking to Janets heavy muay thai bag, focus pads striking, medecine ball situps, the plank – 3 x 30 of each. Some yoga, downwards dog variations and leg swoops. Finished the warmup with Inch Worm across the dojo. That is one mean as little exercise!
Then worked on stances all night – moving and transitioning, various combinations of the gkr essentials. Finished with a little dark side Kotikitae. Now this was interesting. Janet, Matt and Ben have done it before at Marcus’s seminar but it was completely new to the others. They loved it – a brain challenge. I did a little heavy version with Janet to show another side of it.
Ben finished with handstand pushups so everyone had a little play…
A good night!
Now that sounded like fun !!
