Wednesday

Ashihara – light warmup, basics, stretching. Partner work  – striking and sabaki combos, kicking, nice practise on thigh kicks. Some revision of Monday night’s locks, much needed. I understood this stuff hugelybetter second time round  - after just one week I can already see how much difference the two sessions a week will make. I’m a slow learner, need immediate revision and consolidation.

The Sensei taught a new kata – no real name, one developed for competition containing most of the basic classical strikes blocks and kicks. Kind of a blast from my recent past, easy.  Finished with pushups, situps, squats .

Useful revision, better understanding. Intensity about right given the way my fitness has declined lol.
