We started the day with Ho Sin Sul, (wrist locks and escapes) which is interesting, but I wasn't totally awake yet. I would say that by halfway through the class I was able to keep up and do a reasonable job, but by that time we'd gone through so much material I not actually sure what I was able to retain.
There are thirteen wrist locks and escapes (I think) which are done in succession from one side and then the other. We do cross hand grabs, same side grabs, two on one and two on two. I still have to so sides and the rear, but the learning curve is significant. Back in my old TSD school we went through this so I'm fairly aware of the ideas, but these are all slightly different.
After getting through the two on two grabs we moved over to Il Soo Sik (one step sparring). I think there are eighteen of these. We were focusing on where we left off (maybe number 12?) and jumped into some complicated ones. The last one we worked on was a front kicked followed by a turn and back kick, a big block and then a punch. I was starting to not look like a robot and then Keith had me to do the technique on the other side. Back to robot.
I never thought I would say that I was happy to go to kicking drills, but that's tomorrow. Gotta stretch out fully tonight and tomorrow.
