Getting back into the swing of things after my holiday during week 21, was HORRIBLE , to say the least.

 I found warm ups excruciatingly hard, couldn't even sprint for a few shuttle runs without running my lungs hoarse. I'm not a very fit person anyway, yet I had been running well, but week 21 saw that ball WAY out of the park.
We did a lot of stance drills to help out our beginners some more and also more 3 step sparring.

 This week however, week 22, saw Mondays lesson taught by a different instructor from another club. It was refreshingly different. 

 The warm up was hard but didn't drag on too long and we did some really fun kicking drills in which I felt some great improvement in my front kicks.
I would love to do more kicking things with focus pads to actually FEEL how well I'm doing and so that when it comes to breaking boards I will know I can do it.

 For senior class we did patterns which was cool too. You know I love patterns.

 Wednesday night saw instructor Greg back on the scene, we had a long warm up but I felt great doing it, some blocking drills and then practiced some take downs to finish which was really fun!

 I'm also thinking about taking up Iaido. I'm not too sure about it, there is a class which runs in my town but the website gives no info about times so I'm unsure when I can go take a look. 

 However I have always been mystified by the art of the sword and also by the samurai warriors of Japan. 
Perhaps more updates on this later.

 Till next time.
