I was flying high tonight from the good news of my promotion at work, so I decided to celebrate the best way possible: with some Sochin. I knocked out 10 before class started.
They caught up to me quickly. The first class was very basic, and my thighs were cramping the whole workout long. The second class was the 1st kyu exam, combinations, and some partner drills revolving around roundhouse kick. My legs were pretty blown out by that point, but I had a few decent feeling techniques.
All in all, the workout really wasn’t my best. I only got 10 Sochin done, the first class felt pretty darn crappy, and the only semi-decent part was the second class. I do like the notion of celebratory Sochin though.

Ok, I seem to remember telling you to celebrate somehow, but I thought I suggested something along the lines of a nice date night with Tasha. How did that transfer into celebratory Sochin?
Oh well…whatever floats your boat.
We elected to delay celebration until this weekend… with Karate tonight, no meat tomorrow, and a concert on Saturday we’re planning on going out on Sunday or something.
Nothing is more relaxing than a jubilant Sochin or two when you’re still flying high.
I’m sorry sir… because it wasn’t your best effort tonight, we’re going to have to demote you to first-degree black belt…
Naaaaw. Just kidding.
I think you did really good on the kata when I watched you before class started. Then again I’m not a black belt and I’m nowhere near as advanced as you are. You probably know what your talking about more than I do. But good luck on all your kata’s! I’m hoping to be back in karate soon. Tuesday night was big mistake for me, I’ll probably be going to classes and watching though. It was nice seeing you again Sensei!
PS Have a good time with Tasha!
