I was putting myself through some paces during my weekend practice. I wanted to see how long it took to go through basics, forms, breaking and Ill Soo Sik if I went without breaks. I also wanted to see what my fitness was by seeing if I was going to be out of breath.
It took me about 20 minutes, and I was only mildly exercised. However, I was missing Ho shin sul, endurance and kicking drills, but I felt a bit better. I don't think I'm much fitter, but I'm using less effort to do the basics so I'm doing much better overall when I consider the tests.
Today was basics, but I wasn't really awake. I keep waking up during the night figuring it was time to get up, so when I really did get up, I was fairly out of it. I made a lot of small errors, or I got a lot of corrections that may or may not have been around before but being sleepy didn't help me at all.
That burned through most of the class, so I only got about ten minutes to work on forms. I got a couple of good notes for Chil Sung, but most of the troubles were really centered around Nihanshi. My height weighs against me. I usually have a wide stance, but they want me to get my feet closer together and really bend my knees. That's not too bad, but my balance starts to go. Something to really work on and I thought I was doing so well on that. Sigh.
I will say that my basics went a tiny bit easier for me because I was able to pick up more language queues. I only needed one hint. That was pretty big for me. I also did my jumping outside/inside kicks a little better than usual. Whoop! No comments from Keith!
