I haven’t posted – in my mind I thought I had updated last week…so a big catch-up, here goes:
Tuesday Teaching Night
First Class – another big group so we did circuit training – split them into ten groups of four or so, 10 stations around the hall with different combinations/drills at each. Ran through it twice. Nothing new or unusual in the drills but they all loved the different format – I was quite surprised how much. Which illustrates a very important thing that senseis in this style can often forget – people like to be busy doing, not listening to sensei rabbit on about technique.
Second Class
A range of stuff, mainly strikes and kicks from a front lunge. Also played with ”olli-uke” - double block to the side against round kick at any height. Strength, conditioning.
Quote was “Nothing is impossible to a willing mind”
Wednesday- GKR
Couldnt get to evening training because of a late interview so I joined the GKR sales group for training at midday instead.
Worked on basics in long stance, a lot of kokutse dachi. I was badly stiff and awkward (Monday night still taking its toll). Then a leg strength continous round kicking drill with partner – always nasty but I actually enjoy it. A little kata to finish.
Friday
Lagoon walk, Intuflow to music, very relaxing.
Saturday
Little Dark Side Circuit – badly neglecting this stuff 
Bagwork, elbow flow, spinal rocks and stretches, Sanchin.
