I was blabbing with Teacher last week and he had mentioned in passing that Beard would be testing. I had forgotten that and was wondering why Teacher was dragging his feet about starting class last night.
Teacher has either become formulaic or stuck in a rut; either way I’m enjoying it. This is the formula:
- Run through all strikes
- Run through all kicks
- drills using above
- variation drills
- break
- kata/hyungs
- light sparring
- testing (last night anyway)
My concern is that this will go by the wayside now that testing is done for a bit. Even though I’ve been back for a week I’m enjoying the regularity and consistency.
Little Sister and Beard both tested for their rank last night. It’s interesting to see them both do something similar with their decades of age difference. Beard, at 50 plus, was pulling some super low stances, but was shaky on basic kicks.
I have never perspired that much in one setting. It was a bit better than Tuesday. When we were stretching I asked if it was possible to be fat one on one side. Teacher quickly replied, “only if you have a swollen liver.” The laughter didn’t die down for about five minutes.
