Monday workout

Ashihara

Long 35 minutes or so warmup of intensive mixed devilry  – rounds of assorted pushups, situps, leg raises, boxing combos, etc etc then about 10 minutes major stretching. I cope pretty well with this stuff although i need to increase the sophistication of some of it. 

Then focus pad work with partner, four fast basic drills. Basic but i struggle, my partner very patient. Can’t slow it down, just have to do it. Sensei keeps coming to correct/improve the movement and i’m just trying to remember the sequence. Still i’ve got to be better than when I started, just a little.

Then free sparring, learning to keep my hands up and shinblock. It was fun. Finished with “Kihon Kata” which is exactly what it sounds like. Again the fast pace is a struggle
