Today’s class had some new twists on One-Step Sparring; namely doing the Intermediate versions and also the Three-Step Sparring versions.\u00a0 I’m not sure where my head was because I had a devil of a time getting even the simple one-steps right and the three-steps were worse.\u00a0 There is some consolation in that working combinations seemed to go better today although I still need to get better with recognizing the spoken Korean terms for hand techniques.<\/p>\n
It also seems that my Chil Sung E Lo is getting worse with practice.\u00a0 Must do something about that if I’m going to have it down with sufficient competency by the end of March and the next gup shim sa.<\/p>\n
I’ve intentionally cut back on my level of participation in the 20,000 to keep from overtaxing my knee.\u00a0Hopefully it’s just a matter of needing to work into a higher level of exercise more slowly and not a sign that it’ll need to be replaced sooner rather than later…\u00a0 I only got around to doing half my kicks today but will be satisfied with that on top of class.\u00a0 Tomorrow needs to see all of them finished.<\/p>\n
The first inter-school tournament of the season is coming up in March.\u00a0 Still working on getting up the chutzpah to enter.\u00a0 We’ll see.<\/p>\n
