Karate 57

In the first lesson since the marathon, we went to the Elmwood Dojo last night. I loved that class as it was a small one and all about Kata with the Bo followed by karate Kata. We got there a bit early so after a warm-up I had a chance to practice my kata foot work. I am getting better at ending up in the same place I started from.

Marilyn and I were shown some Bo technique. We were able to practice the entire kata enough times that I think we actually remember it enough to do it at home.

I’m feeling a bit sore from wielding that heavy stick around, but I think I’ve pretty much recovered from last Sunday’s marathon and should be back running again this Sunday. Next race should be a half marathon in Devon October 14th. If we were not going to the states for a few weeks, I’d be doing the last 5peaks too. Oh well.
