Cycling
No ride either yesterday or today since I had to take the car back and forth to the shop, but I'll be able to get some quality miles tomorrow, Saturday and Sunday (or at least, such is the plan!)...
Lifting/KB/BodyWeight Workouts
I think I'm done with the break-in plan at this point, and ready to start the RKC Minimum until I'm able to get good and smoked with the workout. Today, I felt really good afterwords, and this only took about 25 minutes:
- Pumps x 10 with 4 twists at the bottom
- Halos x 10 each direction
- Face the Wall Squat x 5 (just to warm up the knees)
- Getups x 3 each side — would have done more, but wanted to move on
- Double arm KB Swings x 40
Felt really energized after I was done.
Karate
Fairly full class last night, nice and sweaty! Some of the kids were being rambunctious before class started, and I was glad to hear "push-ups: until I say stop" come from Shishou's mouth. Some kids just need to learn discipline.
- 20 Push ups, 10 Jumping Jacks, 40 squat-thrusts
- Rolls and Falls for warm-ups
- Two Point Drill: Middle Punch, I/O Block
- Sparring Drills: 1-2 Punch x 30 each hand
- Sparring Drills: Kick-Downblock
Sword
More slackers!
More work on the Wudang form.
Gungfu
The two kids in our Gungfu class weren't in today because of school work, so it was just me and Jeff. We finished all of his requirements for White Sash, so that was class...
I can't remember everything that we did, but I do remember that I was dripping at the end of class... Oh! We did some of my requirements too! That's right. I always forget when we work on my stuff, since it's been so long since I've had to really learn something new in class: it's been constant refinement (when it's not QinNa) for the last two years. Good to really get a sweat going!
Taiji/Qigong
Finally finished documenting the Wudang form. Actually got up and practiced the whole thing a few times!

if you are hitting paralley on the wall-facing squats, you are already way ahead of the game.
even I have to do that sometimes to teach myself to sit back.
also known as parallel
Yeah, I don't seem to have any problems when I do the "face the walls", and I seem to be able to crack out about 40-50 double arm swings... I think I'll give single-arm swings a try either tonight or tomorrow :)
