Back in the Saddle

This was the first time I had ever done an online lesson live.  I've worked from video, but never live with feedback.  My son had done one lesson previously so had done a dry run.  We were going to do the lesson outside using my tablet, but although I had downloaded everything it wouldn't connect.  The dangers of not being able to do a dry run first 😣😣.

Fortunately, we were able to use my son's phone but missed the warm up.

We started off with Kata, I did Naihanchi Shodan and Nidan, my son went up to Pinan Shodan,  This was both on call and performance for each Kata

This was followed by Kihon gata 1 through to 5

1. Jab, back hand punch with twist, mai geri
2. Mai geri, jab, backhand punch with twist
3. Jab, back hand punch with twist, step up, front leg mawashi geri      
4. Step up,front leg mawashi geri, jab, backhand punch with twist  
5. Right mawashi geri, land in front, left mawashi geri,  jab, backhand punch with twist      

After that came solo pad work with spot mitts, individual techniques of head butt, punch across, elbow strikes, knee strikes alternate sides, followed by a combination on right side of head butt, punch across, elbow strike and knee strike.

This was the done as a simple exercise work out: 1 element, burpee, 2 elements, burpee, 3 elements, burpee, 4 elements burpee.

After that we did the first few elements of the Quadrant drill (4 limbs, 4 directions) in combinations:
Jab, backhand punch, left hook
Hammerfist, overhand left, right hook
backslap, elbow, left uppercut, right uppercut (to ribs)

Finally it was kata to warm down, with Naihanchi Shodan.

A fun lesson, in a format am sure to become used to ☺☺☺.  Below is a revision video of the lesson I did today
