As I sit here watching my pet chicken dolefully pick at my blood pressure cuff while occasionally preening a feather or two, I can't help but think about the life I'm providing for her. As a flock animal my wife, me and the cats are her flock, and it doesn't always go well.
Wait. This is a martial arts blog. Where was I going with this?
Anyhoo, class was all Sam So Sik (three step sparring). We got through the first three of five technique groups before I had to duck out.
The repetition is great for me. Andy had us stand in a line and attacked us one at a time. While one person was getting attacked the rest of us would practice the moves. That way it would finally sink in. Then we could work on our technique.
One of the kicks that we use is the yup huri gi. I would say that it's a wheel kick in the start and then turns into a flat kick. They call it the table cleaner. It's aimed at the waste level and designed to hit the kidneys/liver/pancreas depending on your orientation to the attacker.
It's good to be back to be honest. My last class was Monday and that seemed like a million years ago. And thankfully consistent negative covid test.
