I gotta watch that big toe
I gotta watch my neck, don't punch to hard
Watch for overloading that left knee.
Don't kick so hard on the left or you'll hurt that bad hammie.
Try to get time with Sensei to answer some questions about that one piece in the kata.
Keep your eyes up during the kata.
Man, my mind is busy. The above was floating around in my skull before and during our most recent session in the park. I'm trying to address the work at hand, but my recent spate of physical issues tends to press in inopportunely.
I tweaked my left knee recently going up and down a ladder. It stiffens easily. I've had this before so just babying, regular movement should clear it up in a week.
My bulging C6/7 is finally resolving. Regular exercises have pulled the bulge back to the point where the nerves are barely pinching. However, punching at full strength certainly aggravates things, but I was totally fine to go to sleep comfortably last night.
My PT has given me new exercises to help with work on my hamstring. Because the injury appeared to be so high up (on the hip bone) I probably wasn't doing too much with traditional stretches. The new stuff really is nice and I see progress, but this morning sitting is tough, which means I probably overdid it last night.
I'm up to six kata (of the twelve I need to learn for my test) and although they are short I find myself forgetting pieces and parts. They aren't totally engrained yet. So I imagine it's going to be a bit before I get to number seven.
The current list:
- Gekki Sai Dai Ichi
- Gekki Sai Dai Ni
- San Shin
- Tensho
- Saifa
- Shiso Shin
