ahh long week…but its ok
Quite a lot of training – the usual Wednesday night gkr, nothing special, Friday extra kata work with Sensei Michael-James.
And Saturday Uechiiii- yay
Janets garage dojo. Ben trained this week , also Lynne, another friend from gkr who has a kickboxing background. Spear, striking, elbow work, putting them together. Learnt a lot, as always. …wasn’t happy with my elbow work although it did improve. Lots of discussion about violence, reality etc.
Lynne asked about creating distance – she is an awesome kicking queen – Marcus’s demonstration fairly showed how little of an issue this is. Doubt if she’s ready to accept it though.
Ben really liked it, I knew he would because it makes sense! He strikes well, so does Janet. Haha she gets more corrupted each time we train lol.
Much later, at home, free flow Intuflow/moving to music, working on everything but especially elbows…much better.
Current Intuflow playlist – this is a good short workout:-
From the Beginning – Emerson Lake and Palmer 4.15m, Lucky Man – The Verve 4.52 m, 29 Palms – Robert Plant 4.51 m, Never Met a Girl Like you Before – Iggy pop 3.55m, Mercy – Duffy (lol) 3.39m, Classical Gas – Eric Clapton 5.13m, Rat in my Kitchen – UB40 3.08, Gone gone Gone – Robert Plant and Alison Krauss 3.33m.
Warm down with Summer Wine – Nancy Sinatra and Lee Hazelwood 4.16m
Just over 35 mins of aerobic, flowing fun.
Lynne needs to explore kicking from the clinch.
Teach her Intu-Flow leg movements.
Tell her to combine them in thought with her kicking background and let her open her mind to possibilities.
Thanks Rick, will do. I’m not sure where she stands on it all yet, its very new to her. I’ll talk to her Wednedsay night and get some feedback.
Rick great minds think alike , we touched on Blaurs knees and kicking and kicking from the clinch , lots of corners lifted on the pages , but I assume Sue is right , I know the signs of someones paradigm trying hard to reject what they just learnt worked …… But who knows …. we all go through that
He strikes well, so does Janet.
they strike better …… , all need to hit much harder
, but everyones developing everyone is better ……
All cool! I forgot to mention the kicking we did.
I know I’m enjoying it and just getting so much out of it, thankyou sifu
