Due to the exigencies of work, for the first time in almost two years I missed training last week. Work and home life has for various reasons led to me being on Citalopram and soon so undergo depression counselling 😩😩 So possibly the worst of times to miss a training session, given the break it represents from outside events.
The Citalopram has played havoc with my sleep, appetite and stomach, so I gave it up just before this weekend's training, However, the two weeks I was on it took their toll 😩😩. My stamina was as low as it has been for a long while😩😩.
There is a grading planned for next month, so a lot of the lesson was based on the fundamentals. I managed most of the warm ups, including sprinting but my heart rate went through the roof. I tried to work through it, but once we got to the kicks I had to miss out on a fair few, including the increasing sequence of Mawashi geri kicks that forms a part of our drills now (1 then 2, 3 up to 10 on pads). I rejoined for the most of the rest of the session, but did 3/5 of each of the remaining techniques (kihon kata pad work), so that I got to practice them all.
We also did Kata, and as ever that is a favourite part of the sessions for me. I now regularly practice Naihanchi Shodan and Nidan as known kata, which is something at least I can take away as a positve, plus my unwillingness to give up. ☺☺☺
