2005 Workout #16: The Lighter Side continues…

Last night’s workout was extremely light considering some of the beatings we’ve been taking lately. I got to focus on trying to do basics with a certain amount of relaxation that we’ve been working on and I’m happy to report that my forward movement has become more fluid and I actually had a few of those “ah, that was a good one” moments.

The second class (and part of the first class for that matter) the brown/black belts were tapped to help teach. I got with Kathy-san and Sherry-san and had to go through one time attack and then three to five time attack. They were trying to brutalize each other, so I did some drills that seemed ridiculously stupid but showed them how to do light touches instead of cat scratches and slaps. By the end they were starting to get it but they have a ways to go.

made a good point last night about needing to have lighter and heavier workouts, especially when you’re training in the volume that we are right now. Tonight I have some work-related stuff to get done, so I should be ready and rearin’ to go by Wednesday.
