Things still aren't right, I can walk distances just fine, but explosive exercise is still taking it out of me. Saturday in the dojo was more determination than substance but got to keep going....
I love the way our Sensei vary the content of the lessons, always keeps you on your toes ☺☺ Was a fairly regular warm up today, but hey we need those one in a while. After the warm up, most of the lesson was drill and pad work, plus conditioning and what lesson would be complete without kata?: We had in there (but not necessarily in that order):
Naihanchi drill, - crash and control, knee strikes , elbow to head, plush away
Conditioning. kicks (low, mid and high Mawashi-geri) and blocks forearm, inside and ouside Chudan-uke, Gedan uke. First time I tried high Mawashi geri (always got to push)
Tegumi drill take punch, trap, slap to ribs, slap to face, hammerfist to arm, hammer fist to face
Pad work, including pad drills and inside leg kicks
Desensitising, slapping around the face
Kata - including be taught by a black belt in training
Naihanchi Nidan drill, bear hug from behind, sink, break by lifting arms, control arm, turn, elbow to ribs, turn again, strike.
I had to miss partway through, due to a chest flair up, but pushed myself as far as I could ☺☺ Plus I got to spend a bit more time than usual doing paired work with my Sensei and actually tried for a high Mawashi geri for the first time ☺☺
As an addendum, had to take today off work with a bad flair up and possibly found out why I am still struggling 🙀🙀🙀 Seems my chest is clear, but the infection just moved house and lodged itself in my upper respiratory system. so now on to round two....
