Hey All. I went back at it last night. "It" meaning I went for the two hours since my cold has passed and my regular level of fitness has returned. That level isn't great, but since I wasn't getting thrown or swept I didn't wear myself out getting up over and over again.
First Hour
The work of the moment in class is tournament prep. March has four tourneys so refinement on kata and sparring practice is the focus in class. I haven't been to a tourney in years so I'm hoping to get at least one. So we spent some time on figuring out what kata's I should choose. I need two. I ended up picking Wando and Ni Pai Po. There both part of my last test. I could remember the pattern, but a lot of the fine detail was left to be desired.
Second Hour
The class was mostly devoted to refining the two kata. I ended up working with Olivia most of the evening and had to eat a lot of crow when we worked together. Comparing against Olivia and Daniel is brutal. They are way beyond where I'm at.
Notes
I'm feeling an extreme amount of soreness as a result of trying hard for two hours. My general fitness is still coming back slowly. I'll now ruin that by going on vacation Mexico for a week. At least I'll walk quite a bit in the evenings.
