Karate Thoughts

I needed a place where I could write my thoughts and feelings about karate.

The end is Near

of Summer...that is. And, back to work I go. It won't stop me from working out, though. Never has! Sensei M. continued to exhaust us, up until his last day. He's going to begin college next week, so his instructional endeavors have been put on hold for a while. He'll be BUSY studying! ML is back again, teaching. So far, so good.

I'm excited about learning weapons. Nunchucks are first. I have almost the whole form. I can't wait until bo-staff. That's next!

Calisthenics

I think it was 120 full sit-ups tonight, during the first half hour. Twenty at a time, with running relays in between.
After that, I had a hard time getting off the ground for the next round...passing the bag between your partner while doing sit-ups!
I do feel great, though, now that it's over! My partner tonite was A. He was my motivator and inspiration! I couldn't have made it if he didn't push me to finish. His help was definitely appreciated! Sensei M. has been on a "calisthenic rampage" lately and it has taken every ounce of energy to keep up.
I need a hot shower and a cup of tea.
