With Keith leaving I'm trying to get as much time with him as I can. Andy and Keith have different emphasizes and I like the contrast, so it's going to hurt when he's gone. He's very into kicks and I'm digging that because I need so much help there. Andy is an overall teacher and it's great, but he's not much into the kicks due to age (70!).
Keith and his family are leaving for the Texas to look for a house so he'll be back, but the morning session is going to be run by Andy for at least the next two days. The lady who was attending early wasn't on Zoom today so it was just Keith, his son and me. Which is fine because his attention is only split 50/50. As more people are in class, the less individual time you get.
Wednesday means that the week starts for me so it's basics. Keith's son is up a rank so his basics are pretty intense. So I start with a down block and he starts with a jumping kick, a block and a strike. Gads. Talk about warming up early!
The gist of today was that we go through the basics and then did kicking drills. We finished right on the end of class. Tremendous progress for me especially missing two days last week, but I've been practicing diligently on my own time and not feeling great about it. I got a few compliments and that'll keep me happy for the next few days.
It was a big accomplishment for the start of the day and I wasn't even sure that I'd make it. I finally got a booster yesterday and wasn't sure how my body would respond to it all. I tossed and turned a bit last night, but other than that I was good. We'll see how it goes tonight.
