It finally dawned upon me that I'm trying to remember too many things at once, so I'm trying my hardest to focus on a few things. Physical practice seems to be nicely compartmentalized, so that leaves three areas: concepts, one step sparring and wrist locks.
I decided on one-step sparring was the easiest to embrace at the moment. There are eighteen sets of movements, but they are all mirrors. This means that I do the movements to the left and then to the right. That means that I really only need to know nine sets. With that in mind I've set myself to the task to remember a little of these at a time.
Here's what I've got so far:
- Start one - Sudo block ~ round house
- Start two - Inside block ~ side kick
- The standard - kick, block, punch, crescent kick
- Knee in the gut - crescent, side kick, face punch, yank to knee
- Twister - fake kick, twist protection, back kick, sudo, punch, chop to the cheek
- We three kicks - front kick, switch feet to roundhouse, spinning back kick, punch.
That's all that's committed to memory. I need to get those last three set to memory and then jump back to wrist locks.

I had a run in with Covid on Saturday night! I was the only guy with a mask on because I was worried about spreading anything from the morning training with all those people. The guy I was sitting next to all evening pinged me the next day and told me he got a positive and was definitely not feeling well.
I tested and got a negative, but I wasn't sure about incubation times, so I skipped my Monday evening class. So far, I'm doing good with no symptoms, but I was told incubation could be five days. Both Keith and I wore masks this morning and no one else was there so hopefully I'm not causing problems.
