Today's session was dedicated to the inter club competition we have tomorrow, between our own association's dojos. I'm doing Kata and my son is doing Kata and Jissen Kumite (full contact). That's triple nerves, two as a dad and one as a competitor.....
So after warm up, it was straight into Kata, and I was first up. Apparently my intent is now very good, I look like I'm trying to do serious damage 😊😊😊 However, there are still a good few points to work on. After that, we did round about 45 minutes of drills based on punch / kick combinations to help those going in for Kumite. Have to say I ran out of steam at that point.
Finally was reminder time, doing pad work based on dirty Naihanchi, to remind us of the self defence basics that get pulled from competition. Was a really hot and sweaty session in the dojo, but tomorrow is the key.
Looks like I will need to learn point style fighting though if I want to fight, and I do want to try at least once. My style doesn't allow full contact competition if you are over 35, so looks like I need to practice touchy feely Karate to get a go, but I am stubborn.....
Good luck to everyone tomorrow 😊😊😊
